PREFACE. 



This volume is published with a full knowledge of the imperfec- 
tions that will be manifest to many who read it and the publication 
would be further delayed could such action eliminate them. 

The author has faithfully endeavored to secure information of in- 
terest and value from reliable sources and trusts that in a measure he 
has succeeded, but in many instances this information has not been as 
complete as desired and this feature is no fault of his. Were the faults 
only those of omission he would be pleased, for such he could not avoid. 

Only through the co-operation of many persons has it been possible 
to present the tabulations and brief sketches of descendants as com- 
pletely as they have been. Under such conditions it is luireasonable to 
expect no errors to have been made as frequently intelligent members 
of the same family have reported the family tabulation differently 
and in some instances extremely carelessly. Great care has been exer- 
cised in transcribing the more than thirty thousand data contained in 
the volume that the work should be as free from errors as possible. 
Whether perfect or imperfect, correct or erroneous, every one assisting 
is entitled to unmeasured thanks from the author and its readers. 

The historian Bancroft is authority for the early colonial history 
and the history of Quakerism, and the language is largely his. Austin's 
Dictionary of Rhode Island affords data of Thomas Sheriff and his fam- 
ily, while data collected by the late Samuel H. Shreve of New York 
City and supplied by Mr. Barclay White and Lydia S. Shreve of Mount 
Holly, N. J., supplemented by information from Caleb D. Shreve of 
the same place and Francis B. Lee of Trenton, N. J., has been freely 
used in the history of the early Shreve Families. A. S. Barnes & Co., 
of New York City have kindly permitted the reproduction of the zinc 
etching of the old Shreve homestead, also tlie articles from the pen of 
Col. Israel Shreve and Lieut. John Shreve supplied the Magazine of 
American History by Samuel H. Shreve. 

It is not proposed to set forth the obstacles and discouragements 
attending the collection and compilation of such a large amount of 
data. They were many. The temptation to destroy all memoranda 
and forever abandon interest in the subject more than once presented 
itself. Then words of encouragement from some that retained an abid- 
ing interest deterred and impelled to a completion of the self-imposed 
task. Among such must be gratefully mentioned John P. Hutchinson 
of Georgetown. N. J., Charles U. Shreve of Louisville, Ky.. Edmund 
E. Kiernan of Pittsburg, Pa., Heber J. Grant of Salt Lake City, Utah, 
and George W. Shreve of San Francisco, Cal. They made the pub- 
lication possible by their generous subscriptions at a time when aband- 
onment seemed imminent. 

Untiring energy and promptness in the collection of data in thoir 
respective branches were displayed at an early time by .Joseph Price (if

Briggs, Mrs. Harriet L. Carter and others. Were personal mention 
made of each contributor the list would comprise a much larger num- 
ber. A work of this character is possible only through such generous 
co-operation and grateful acknowledgement is here made to every one 
that has even remotely contributed information. 

A few pages are devoted to a brief outline of early colonial history 
since the ancestors of the Shreve family emigrated at such an early 
period to Massachusetts and Rhode Island and their early environ- 
ments influenced their posterity so plainly for more than a century and 
a half. Those families living in America the first one hundred years 
or previous to 1750. are classified in one section as of one family and 
their history as fully as known is there recorded. The descendants of 
each of them if discovered are subsequently classified in a section and 
their lineal descent from the early families is noted .iust preceding the 
tabulation of the first ancestor there recorded. The five thousand de- 
scendants are thus clustered together by large branches rather than as 
one large family. 

The several tabulations were reported from 1896 to 1000— probably 
three-fourths of them in 1896 and 1897. In many instances, changes 
occurring, the reports were continued to the year of publication, but 
such was not always done. It is believed that descendants have lived 



PREFACE. VU 

in the places reported sometime during the last four years. Where 
persons under twenty -one years of age are not designated as deceased, 
the presumption is that they are living with their pai'ents. 

The derogatory finds no place in the volume, the compiler preferring 
to remain silent rather than record that which it were best to have for- 
gotten. If good, true and noble qualities of character have existed and 
been reported, he has gladly given them a place, endeavoring to treat 
every descendant justly and with consideration regardless of political 
or religious creed. 

THE AMSTERDAM ESTATE. 

The publication would be incomplete without the best record ob- 
tainable of the Amsterdam Estate in which so many ancestors, long 
since passed away, displayed such great interest. A large number look 
forward to this portion of the volume with great satisfaction, as at 
no time has the effort been made to collect from every source every- 
thing relating to it with the intention of giving publicity to the results. 
It is believed that much more could have been added to the record had 
parties felt disposed to communicate more freely. The compiler has 
never proposed to secure this estate or to encourage anyone in the be- 
lief that such an estate was obtainable by anyone. He has simply 
sought information from every source. Representative business men 
and excellent legal talent of Shreve blood have figured at different 
times in the investigations and because their efforts did not end in 
fruition they should not be regarded on the one hand as illusionists or 
on the other as dealing with insincerity in the matter. To this day the 
whole affair at the best is puzzling. Descendants have frevly con- 
tributed copies of documents and family letters in their possession and 
in many instances have sent the originals. The writer has personally 
examined many of them yellow with age and the writing faded- 
written in 1S30 and 1837. Every one published is just what it pur- 
ports to be— not one is spurious. By the incredulous the estate may 
be declared a myth, as no one has been able to produce positive evi- 
dence of its existence, location, value or title. The more conservative 
with equal propriety may suggest that it is not probable tliat these 
ancestors would have such confidence without something fairly reason- 
able on which to base it, particularly when in nearly every generation 
disinterested persons from Holland of seeming veracity affirmed that 
to their knowledge such an estate did exist and the property could 
still be pointed out. 

THE COAT OF ARMS. 

Persistent efforts have been made to find an authentic Shreve 
Coat of Arms, but without success. B. F. Haywood Shreve Esq., of 
Mount Holly, N. J., has displayed great interest in the subject. The 
results of his researches and his judgment which have been freely 
communicated are the best authority at this time. Referring to the 
Coat of Arms discovered by Samuel H. Shreve, he wrote in February, 
1897: 

"They are the Ireton arms as you will find by examining Burke's 
Heraldry, and were borne by Cromwell's General of that name. Now, 
about one hundred years ago, an Ireton married a Stockton, and you 
are doubtless aware that the Stocktons intermarried with the Lippin- 



viii preface;. 

cotts, and that a Lippincott married a Shreve. In this way no doubt 
a copy of these arms came into possession of some member of the 
Shreve family. 

"I have made a careful examination of all the works on Heraldry 
to which I had access and also employed a Philadelphia professional, 
who devotes all his time to it, to look into the matter for me, and 
the result was the same in both cases. We could find no Areson arms. 
Our claim to these arms is, therefore, in my opinion, altogether spur- 
ious." 

Several copies of Coats of Arms were submitted to Mr. Shreve'a 
judgment. In June, 1900, he wrote as follows: 

The coat of arms embossed on letter paper which you enclosed, 
and your lithograph copy, and also one or two other engraved copies 
which I have seen, are all arrangements from the one original. 

The essential features of a coat of arms are merely the markings 
of the shield, which, in this case, are the sable maiitle, and two red 
bars; the ci*est is frequently altered by different branches ot the family. 

All the old copies of the arms in question are like the large colored 
copy you sent and you will note, that in this copy, the shield has the 
markings above refered to, and the crest has the helmet and dog's 
head which appear in your lithograph. 

The horns of plenty at each side are known as supporters, and 
are not essential features of the arms, but merely ornamentation that 
has little significance excepting, perhaps, to determine the date of the 
design. 

I know of an old copy of this coat of arms painted on a plate, in 
possession of a member of the Aaronson family, who claim to be de- 
scended, I believe, from Diedrick Areson, and they claim it as the Are- 
son arms. 

I have never seen the original from which Mr. Samuel H. Shreve 
made his copy, although I have seen other copies of it. 

I beg to call your attention again to the fact that these arms have 
never been claimed as the Shreve arms by any one who has carefully 
considered the matter. Mr. Samuel H. Shreve believed them to be the 
arms of the family of Sarah Areson or possibly Oara Oara. As I wrote 
in my previous letter I find arms with the same essential features borne 
by the family of General Ireton, (see Burke) and I can find no author- 
ity advanced for assuming that they are the Areson arms. 

It seems to me therefore, that if you publish these arms at all, 

you should label them, "Supposed Areson Arms," and not suggest in 

any way, that they could have had any other connection with the 

Shreve family, as it only exposes people to ridicule who use coat armor 

without a well-proved claim to it.

COAT OF ARMS (Unauthentic,)

EARLY COLONIAL HISTORY. 

t^ t^ (^ (^ 

It is well that every family that can trace its ancestry in Amer- 
ica to the middle of the Seventeenth century — as the_ Shreves can 
do — should understand somewhat of the early colonial history of 
our country. The American ancestors of this family were of En- 
glish and Dutch birth ; Quakers in religious belief ; dwellers in the 
colony of Rhode Island, and on Long Island, from whence they 
emigrated to New Jersey and there at an early period in its his- 
tory they purchased large tracts of land and were known as 
"Planters." 

The early history of New Netherlands and New Jersey, where 
many of their descendants reside, and of the Quaker sect, whose 
religious faith many still practice in its original simplicity, should 
be especially interesting to their posterity. 

Although repeated attempts had been made by nearly every 
European power, and large concessions had been offered to those 
risking their lives and fortunes in the interest of discoveries in 
the New World, from the discovery of the continent in 1492 until 
after 1600, no permanent colonies had been planted on our soil 
excepting the weak one of the Spaniards at St. Augustine. Fail- 
ure was written in every instance. 

Jamestown, the first permanent English colony, was planted in 
1606. The Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock in 1620, and dur- 
ing the next few decades the intervening territory was settled. 
In 1634 Lord Baltimore planted his colony in Maryland, and the 
same year Roger Williams, a friend of humanity and the cham- 
pion of the Indians, appeared in Rhode Island and in 1638 ob- 
tained from the natives a gift of that island, piously naming its 
future capital Providence. 

The spirit of the age was present when the foundations of New 
York were laid. Every great European event afifected the for- 
tunes of America. Did a state there prosper, it sought an increase 
of wealth by plantations in the West. Was a sect persecuted, it 
escaped to the New World. The reformation, emancipating the 
United Provinces, led to European settlements on the Hudson. 
The Netherlands divide with England the glory of having planted 
the first colonies in the United States ; they also divide the glory 
of having set the examples of public freedom. 

In 1609, Henry Hudson, having repaired to Holland, set sail 
in the interest of the Dutch East India Company for the north- 
western passage. He landed on the promontory of Cape Cod, 
then sailed southward to the Bay of Virginia, when he again 



Z the; gsneai^ogy and history 

turned northward, anchoring within Sandy Hook and explored 
the adjacent river. HoUand thus acquired title to the territory 
which was known afterwards as New Netherlands. 

In 1613 three or four rude hovels had been erected on the 
Island of Manhattan, as a summer shelter for the few Dutch 
mariners and fur traders whom private enterprise had stationed 
there. The next year the first rude fort was erected, and in 1615 
the settlement of Albany began. In 1623 the era of the perma- 
nent settlement of New York commenced. Round the new block 
house on Manhattan the cottages of New Amsterdam began to 
cluster; the country assumed the form of a colony, while the 
office of Governor was held from 1624. In 1625 there was cer- 
tainly one family on Long Island and a child of European paren- 
tage was born there. In 1627 there was the first exchange of 
courtesies with the Pilgrims of Plymouth, and between them the 
most friendly feeling prevailed. 

These were the rude beginnings of New York. Its first age was 
the age of hunters and Indian traders ; of traffic in the skins of 
otters and beavers ; when the native tribes were employed in pur- 
suit of game, and the yachts of the Dutch, in quest of furs, pene- 
trated every bay and basin and inlet from Narragansett to the 
Delaware. It was the day of straw roofs and wooden chimneys 
and windmills. 

The historian of Long Island records no regular occupation of 
lands on that island till 1636. A few years later the limits of New 
Netherlands were narrowed by competitors on the east and 
south. The swarms of English in Connecticut grew so numerous 
that they overwhelmed the feeble settlement of the Dutch, at 
Hartford, while the tidings of the loveliness of the country had 
been borne to Scandinavia, and the peasantry of Sweden and 
Finland emigrated to the banks of the Delaware, which from the 
ocean to the "Falls" were known as New Sweden. After a dis- 
tinct existence for seventeen years, in 1655 New Sweden, then 
numbering about seven hundred souls, surrendered to the Dutch. 
The descendants of the colonists, in the course of generations, 
widely scattered and blended with emigrants of other lineage, 
constitute probably more than one part in two hundred of the 
present population of our country. 

The Dutch seemed to have firmly established their power in 
New Netherlands. They exulted in the possession of a territory 
that needed no embankments against the ocean. They were 
proud of its vast extent, from New England to Maryland, from 
the sea to the Great River of Canada and the remote northwest- 
ern wilderness. They sounded with exultation the channel of the 
deep stream, which was no longer shared with the Swedes, and 
counted with delight its many lovely runs of water, on which the 
beaver built their villages. 



OF THE SHREVE FAMII^Y. 3 

The emigrants to our shores from Holland were of the most 
various lineage ; for Holland had long been the gathering place 
of the unfortunate. Could we trace the descent of the emigrants 
from the Low Countries to New Netherlands, we should be car- 
ried not only to the banks of the Rhine and the borders of the 
German Sea, but to the Protestants who escaped from France 
after the massacre of Bartholomew's eve ; and to the earlier en- 
quirers who were swayed by the voice of Huss in the heart of 
Bohemia. 

New York was always a city of the world. Its settlers were the 
first fruits of the reformation ; chosen from the Belgic provinces' 
and England, from France and Bohemia, from Germany and 
Switzerland, from Piedmont and the Italian Alps. When the hur- 
ricane of persecution swept over the pious Waldenses, the city 
of Amsterdam offered the fugitives a free passage to America, 
and a welcome reception was prepared in New Netherlands for 
the few who were willing to emigrate. When the Protestant 
churches in Rochelle were razed, the Calvinists of that city were 
gladly admitted. Troops of orphans were sometimes shipped for 
the milder destinies of the New World ; a free passage was of- 
fered to mechanics. 

The colony increased ; children swarmed in every village ; the 
new year and the month of May were welcomed with noisy frol- 
ics ; new modes of activity were devised ; lumber was shipped to 
France; the whale pursued off the coast; the vine, the mulberry 
planted ; flocks of sheep as well as cattle were multiplied ; and 
tile, so long imported from Holland, began to be manufactured 
near Fort Orange. New Amsterdam could in a few years boast 
of stately buildings and almost vied with Boston. "This happily- 
sicuated province," said its inhabitants, "may become the granary 
of our Fatherland ; should our Netherlands be wasted by griev- 
ous wars, it will offer our countrymen a safe retreat ; by God's 
blessing we shall, in a few years, become a mighty people." Thus 
did various nations assist in colonizing our central states. 

Private worship was allowed to every religion. Opinion, if not 
yet enfranchised, was already tolerated, and Jews found a home, 
liberty and a burial place on the Island of Manhattan. 

Cromwell had planned the conquest of New Netherlands ; in 
the days of his son the design was revived ; and the restoration of 
Charles II. threatened the territory with danger from the south, 
the north and from England. 

In 1664 Long Island was lost, and shortly after the aristocratic 
libeities of Flolland yielded to the hope of popular liberties like 
those of New England, and articles of surrender were accepted 
by the magistrate and other inhabitants duly assembled. The 
colonists were satisfied and very few embarked for Holland. 
Early in October the whole Atlantic coast was for the first time in 



4 the; gene;ai,ogy and history 

the posKession of England. The final transfer from Horand to 
England did not occur until ten years later. 

The political existence of New Jersey was given by the Duke 
of York, who fixed its boundaries and granted the soil. Its moral 
character was moulded by New England Puritans, English 
Quakers and dissenters from Scotland. In 1665 quite an impetus 
was given to emigration to New Jersey from the Northeastern 
colonies and European countries. Security of persons and prop- 
erty under laws to be made by an assembly composed of the Gov- 
ernor and Council and at least i.n equal number of representatives 
of the people ; freedom from taxation except by the colonial as- 
sembly ; a combined opposition of the people and the proprieta- 
ries to any arbitrary impositions from England; freedom of judg- 
ment, conscience and worship to every peaceful citizen — these 
were the allurements to New Jersey. Lands were promised at a 
n'odorate quit-rent, not to be collected until 1670. 

The portion of New Netherlands which thus gained popular 
freedom was at that time almost a wilderness. Here and there in 
the counties of Gloucester and Burlington a Swedish farmer may 
have preserved his dwelling on the Jersey side of the river ; and, 
before 1654, perhaps three Dutch families were established about 
Burlington; but West New Jersey had not a hamlet. In 1618 a 
trading station seems to have been occupied at Bergen, which 
grew into a permanent settlement. Before the end of 1664 a few 
families of Quakers appear also to have found a refuge south of 
Raritan Bay. 

In that year New England Puritans, sojourners on Long Is- 
land, had leave of the Dutch to plant the banks of the Raritan and 
the Minnisink and succeeded in obtaining from the Indians a 
deed to an extensive territory on Newark Bay, which was after- 
wards called "the Elizabethtown purchase." At this time, the be- 
ginning of the commonwealth was but a cluster of four houses. 
The place was called Elizabethtown, and became the capital of the 
province. In 1668, in the colonial assembly convened at Eliza- 
bethtown for the first time, the influence of the Puritans trans- 
ferred the chief features of the New England codes to the statute 
books of New Jersey. 

Tlic province increased in numbers and prosperity. The land 
was accessible and productive ; the temperate climate delightful 
by its salubrity. There was little danger from the neighboring 
Indians ; the vicinity of the older settlements saved the emigrants 
from the distresses of a first adventure in the wilderness. In the 
Elizabethtown code Puritan austerity was so tempered by Dutch 
indifiference that mercy itself could not hardly have dictated a 
milder system. 

The banks of the Delaware were reserved for men who had 
been taught by the uneducated son of a poor Leicestershire 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 5 

weaver to seek the principle of God in their own hearts. In the 
Seventeenth century a popular, and therefore, in that age, a re- 
hg:ous party, building on a divine principle, demanded freedom 
of mind, purity of morals and universal enfranchisement. The 
sect had its birth in a period of intense pubUc activity ; when the 
heart of England was swelling with passions, and the public mind 
turbulent with factious leaders ; when zeal for reform was invad- 
ing the church, subverting the throne and repealing the privi- 
leges of feudalism. 

The rise of the people called Quakers is one of the memorable 
events in the history of man. It marks the moment when intel- 
lectual freedom was claimed unconditionally by the people as an 
inalienable birthright. To the masses in that age all reflections 
on politics and morals presented itself under a theological form. 
The Quaker doctrine is philosophy, summoned from the cloister, 
the college, the saloon, and planted among the most despised of 
people. 

The mind of George Fox had the highest systematic sagacity ; 
and his doctrine, developed and rendered illustrious by Barclay 
atid Pcnn, was distinguished by its unity. The Quaker has but 
one v/ord, THE INNER LIGHT, the voice of God in the soul. 
That light is a reality, and, therefore, in its freedom the highest 
revelation of truth ; it is kindred with the spirit of God, and, there- 
fore, merits dominion as the guide to virtue; it shines in every 
man's breast, and, therefore, joins the whole human race in the 
unity of equal rights. Intellectual freedom, the supremacy of 
mind, universal enfranchisement — these three points include the 
whole of Quakerism, as far as it belongs to civil history. 

Everywhere in Europe the Quakers were exposed to persecu- 
tion. Their seriousness was called melancholy enthusiasm; their 
boldness self-will ; their frugality, covetousness ; their freedom, in- 
fidelity; their conscience, rebellion. In England, the general laws 
againsi dissenters, the statute against Papists, and special stat- 
utes against themselves, put them at the mercy of every informer. 
They were hated by the Church and the Presbyterians, by the 
peers and the king. The code of that day describes them as "an 
abommable sect ;" "their principles as inconsistent with any kind 
of government." During the Long Parliament, in the time of the 
protectorate, at the restoration in England, in New England, in 
the iHiich colony of New Netherlands, everywhere, and for long, 
wearisome years, they were exposed to perpetual dangers and 
griefs. They were whipped, crowded into jails among felons, 
kept in dungeons, foul and gloomy beyond imagination ; fined, 
exiled, sold into colonial bondage. They bore the brunt of the 
persecution of the dissenters. Imprisoned in winter without fire 
they perished from frost. Some were victims to the barbarous 
crueltv of the jailer ; twice George Fox narrowly escaped death. 



6 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

The despised people braved every danger to continue their as- 
semblies. Haled out by violence, they returned. When their 
meeting houses were torn down, they gathered openly on the 
ruins. They could not be dissolved by armed men ; and when 
their opposers took shovels to throw dirt on them, they stood 
close together, "willing to have been buried alive, witnessing for 
the Loru." They were exceeding great sufiferers for their pro- 
fession, and in some cases treated worse than the worst of their 
race. They were as poor sheep appointed to the slaughter and 
as a people killed all day long. 

Is it strange that they looked beyond the Atlantic for a reiuge ? 
In March, 1674. a few months after the return of George Fox 
from his pilgrimage to all our colonies from Carolina to Rhode 
Island, the haughty peer Berkley sold for a thousand pounds the 
moity of New Jersey to Quakers, to John Fenwick in trust for 
Edward Byllinge and his assigns. In 1675, Fenwick, with a large 
conipsny and several families, set sail in the Griffith for the Asy- 
hmi of Friends. Ascending the Delaware, he landed on a pleas- 
ant, fertile spot, and as the outward world easily takes the hues 
of men's minds, he called the place Salem, for it seemed the 
dwelling place of peace. The Quakers desired to possess a ter- 
ritory where they could institute a government, and in August, 
1676, they agreed to a division with Cartaret, who owned the 
other moiety of New Jersey. And, now that the men who had 
gone about to turn the world upside down were possessed of a 
province, what system of politics should they adopt? 

The light that lighteth every man shone brightly in the Pil- 
grims of Plymouth, the Calvinists of Hooker and Haynes, and 
in the freeman of Virginia, when the transient abolition of mon- 
archy compelled even Royalists to look from the throne to a 
surer guide in the heart ; the Quakers, following the same exalted 
instincts, could but renew the fundamental legislation of the men 
of the Mayflower of Hartford and the old Dominion. "T h e C o n- 
cessions are such as Friends approve of." This is the message 
of the Quaker proprietaries in England to the few who had emi- 
grated : "We lay a foundation for after ages to understand their 
liberty as Christians and as men, that they may not be brought 
into bondage, but by their own consent ; for we put thepower 
in the peopl e." And in March, 1677, the charter or fun- 
damental laws of West New Jersey were perfected and published. 
In that year Burlington was laid out and rude huts were built in 
imitation of the wigwams of the natives. 

Immediately the English Quakers, with the good wishes of 
Charles II., flocked to West New Jersey, and commissioners pos- 
sessing a temporary authority were sent to administer afifairs till 
a popular government could be instituted. Lands were purchased 
of the Indians ; the planters numbered nearly four hundred souls ; 



OF TH:e SHREVE FAMI1,Y. 7 

and, already, at Burlington, under a tent, covered with sail- 
cloth, the Quakers began to hold religious meetings. In 1678, the 
Indian kings gathered in council amidst the shades of the Bur- 
lington forests, and declared their joy at the prospect of perma- 
nent peace. "You are our brothers," said the sachems, "and we 
will live like brothers with you. We will have a broad path for 
you and us to walk in. If an Englishman falls asleep in this 
path, the Indians shall pass him by, and say, 'He is an English- 
man ; he is asleep ; let him alone.' The path shall be plain. There 
shall not be a stump in it to hurt the feet." 

After such trials, vicissitudes and success, the light of peace 
dawned upon West New Jersey, and in November, 1681, Jen- 
nings, acting as governor of the proprietaries, convened the first 
legislative assembly of the representatives of men who said 
THEE and THOU to all the world, and wore their hats in the 
presence of beggar and king. Their first measures established 
their rights by an act of fundamental legislation and in the spirit 
of "the concessions" they framed their government on the basis 
of humanity. Neither faith nor wealth nor race was respected. 
They met in the wilderness as men and founded society on equal 
rights. They levied for the expenses of their commonwealth two 
hundred pounds, to be paid in skins or corn or money ; they voted 
the governor a salary of twenty pounds ; they prohibited the sale 
of ardent spirits to Indians ; they forbade imprisonment for debt. 
The little government of a few hundred souls soon increased to 
ihousands. The people rejoiced under the reign of God, confi- 
dent that he would beautify the meek with salvation. A loving 
correspondence began with Friends in England ; and from the 
fathers of the sect frequent messages were received. 

In May, 1682, Burlington was erected into the capital of the 
province. In 1684 the assembly divided the province into four 
counties — Bergen, Essex, Middlesex and Monmouth. 

These were the times and the places where the first ancestors 
of the Shreve family in colonial times are known to us. Quaker- 
ism was their religious and political creed, and its principles were 
so thoroughly instilled into them that for more than one century 
almost without exception their descendants followed in the same 
belief, and now, after a lapse of two hundred and fifty years, a 
large number have not departed from the early faith of their an- 
cestors. 

Thirty-five years before Rhode Island numbered 4,000 souls, 
during which period emigration was large, the names of Thomas 
Sheriff and his family occur in its annals, while within twelve 
years of the time Long Island is designated as regularly occu- 
pied, and within twenty-five years of the time the first family 
lived on it, the name of Areson appears on its early records.

EARLY SHREVE FAMILIES. 
J64M750, 

(^* t^5 f^t 

The ancestry of the Shreve family emerges from tradition when 
the annals of Plymouth, Mass., and Portsmouth, R. I., at an 
early date after the landing of the Mayflower record the name of 
"Sheriff." December 7th, 1641, at Plymouth, Thomas Sheriff was 
a complainant in an action of trespass, and twenty-five years 
later, December loth, 1666, he was grantor in a conveyance at 
Portsmouth. An inventory of his estate was filed at Portsmouth 
June nth, 1675. In those vicinities then he must have lived and 
died. He was very probably born before 1620, and his wife, 

Martha , not later than 1635. His death occurred May 

29th, 1675, aged fifty-five years or more, while she survived at 
least sixteen years, marrying a second and third time, respec- 
tively Thomas Hazard and Lewis Hues. The latter, it seems, ab- 
sconded within seven weeks of their marriage, taking with him 
much property belonging to his wife, which occasioned her to 
transfer her remaining property subject to certain provisions for 
her maintenance during her lifetime to her son John. 

The traditional ancestry of the Shreve family is very interesting 
and entertaining, as presented by the late Samuel H. Shreve, 
civil engineer of New York City, who, during the latter years of 
his life, devoted much time and labor to the study of the ancestry 
of the family. Mr. Barclay White, an authority on the early fami- 
lies of Burlington County, New Jersey, has contributed the fol- 
lowing from his pen : 

Mount Holly, N. J., 7 mo. 9, 1895. 
L. P. ALLEN, 
Greeting : 
The late Sam'l H. Shreve, C. E., of New York City, under 
date Dec. 4, 1883, addressed me as follows : 

I have been interested in the subject of the Shreve family for 
some years and have embraced every opportunity to add to my 
stock of information. 

From the time of the Caleb Shreve who settled at Mount 
Pleasant, Mansfield Township, Burlington County, New Jersey, 
I am satisfied that what I have is authentic. Previous to that it 
is traditional, but I believe mainly correct. 

The first Shreve of whom I have any account was Sir William 
Shreve, who came from the Southeastern part of Europe, some 



OF THK SHREVE FAMILY. 9 

say Greece, others hint at Turkey, in both of which countries, 
especially in the latter, the name of Sheriff was not uncommon, 
but borne only by Mohammedan families. I cannot fix the time 
of Sir William. He married Elizabeth Fairfax (tradition says 
Lady Elizabeth, but I always suspect titles, etc., in family tradi- 
tions), and had a son William, who married a young lady of Am- 
sterdam by the singular name of Ora Ora, or Oara Oara, the 
daughter of a wealthy nobleman. I have no doubt of Oara being 
an ancestress of the family. 

After their marriage, the story of which is quite romantic, they 
came to Portsmouth, R. I. They had positively two sons, Caleb 
and John, and probably a third, William, who left no descen- 
dants. 

We are now able to make a guess at the date of Caleb's birth 
from an old deed still in the family. This deed is from John 
Cooke of Portsmouth, in Colony of Rhode Island, to John Shreve 
of the same town, and conveys three-fourths of all his right and 
property at Shrewsbury, N. J. Deed is dated January 9th, 1676-7 ; 
on the back is a transfer from the said John Shreve to his be- 
loved brother, Caleb Shreve. 

Caleb "Shreve received warrants for land from the East New 
Jersey proprietors as early as 1676. He was certainly of age at 
the time, and it would be safe to assume that his birth occurred 
about 1650 to 1655. Allowing thirty years to a generation, we 
would have for the date of the birth of Sir William, 1590, which 
is confirmed by the tradition that he was born in the latter part 
of the Sixteenth century. 

This account, you will notice, does not agree with Savage's 
guess work, referred to by Mr. Saltar, in the Mount Holly (New 
Jersey) Mirror of April 4th last, that John Shreve of Portsmouth 
was the son of Thomas of Massachusetts. 

I will give you the sources of the tradition of Caleb Shreve's 
ancestors. I have several statements made by members of the 
family some fifty to seventy-five years ago, but the best of all, or 
the one which the few since discovered by me have confirmed 
most, is that which comes from Col. Israel Shreve, who died in 
1799. He was grandson of Caleb, and took a very great interest 
in family matters. He was very young when his father died ; but 
there continued to live with the family two persons, James Yar- 
nell and Betty Martin, who had been in the service o'f Col. 
Shreve's father long before the death of his grandfather, and who 
lived to a very great age. Col. Shreve's statement is the fullest of 
all. The descendants of Caleb Shreve who remained in Burling- 
ton County seemed to have t^ken the least interest in family his- 
tory. 

Col. Shreve, after the Revolutionary war, moved to the western 
part of Pennsylvania, and his descendants are scattered through- 



10 THE GENKAI,OGY AND HISTORY 

out the West, chiefly in Louisville and St. Louis. It was from 
them that I obtained his statement. From a descendant of Col. 
Shreve's eldest brother, now living in London, I obtained an ac- 
count of the family almost identical with the other ; therefore, I 
conclude that this tradition was believed in by Caleb Shreve's 
son, Benjamin, the father of Israel. 

The only discrepancies in the written statements that are of 
consequence in this connection, is whether Caleb Shreve was 
born in this country, or in England. He died in 1741, or sixty- 
five years after he purchased at Shrewsbury, N. J., so that he must 
have been, supposing him to have been twenty-one at the latter 
time, at least eighty-six when he died. Hence, if born in England, 
he was very young when he came to this country. It is also evi- 
dent, from his purchases, that when young he was possessed of 
considerable means. 

I do not think that Caleb Shreve ever lived on Long Island, 
but he married there Sarah, daughter of Derick or Diedrick Are- 
son, of Flushing. I do not know the date of his marriage, nor 
when he moved to Shrewsbury Township, N. J, ; both events 
occurred probably about 1680. In different conveyances he is 
described as "Planter." His name is spelled in various ways, but 
by himself always Shreve. He lived on Narumsunk, now mis- 
called Rumsom Neck. He served as a grand juror in the years 
1692-3-4. Before coming to Burlington County he resided in 
Freehold, N. J., for a few years, probably removing there from 
Narumsunk about 1692. 

He purchased Mount Pleasant, in Mansfield Township, the old 
homestead that has been in the possession of the family ever 
since, and now belongs to my cousin, Benjamin F. Shreve, of 
Mount Holly, N. J., in April, 1699, and moved there immedi- 
ately. An account of the title to this place is in the New Jersey 
Mirror of March 28th last. A portion of the house in which Caleb 
Shreve lived is still standing. I mean that part of which the first 
story is of brick, the westerly end thereof, built in 1725, the east- 
erly, as the date states, in 1742. The house is historical, and I 
should be sorry to see it pass out of the family, or be neglected. 

From what I have said you will see whence came the story that 
Caleb Shreve came from Amsterdam, his mother was a native of 
that city, as was his wife's father, and it is possible she may have 
been born there. I may mention that Col. Shreve's family still 
possess some silver trinkets and spoons that once belonged to 
Oara. Caleb Shreve died in 1741 ; his wife, Sarah, was living in 
1735, but I do not know when she died. 

I do not know whether the first Caleb was a Friend, or not. 
I am inclined to think he was. He was rich enough to provide 
handsomely for all his sons, except Benjamin, before his death. 
To Benjamin he left by his will the homestead and considerable

other property. Benjamin was a Friend. Of the children of Ben- 
jamin, Caleb, William, who was a colonel in the state service ; 
Israel, colonel of the Second New Jersey Regiment, Continen- 
tal line ; Samuel, who was lieutenant-colonel in the state service, 
took a very active part in the Revolutionary war. Caleb, who 
was often called colonel, though I do not know he had any com- 
mission, with a few militia resisted the British at Crosswick 
Creek, and in a personal combat shot the British ofificer. 

Israel Shreve received his first commission in 1775, was in the 
attack on Quebec. In 1776 he was made colonel of the Second 
New Jersey, and was in active service throughout the war. He 
was a man of noble character and a pure patriot, of whom all 
Shreves may well be proud, and who was an honor to his state. 
I intend sometime soon to publish his life and correspondence. 
I have about two hundred letters written to his wife during the 
war, letters to and from General Washington and very many 
other prominent officers of the army. Israel's son, John, was a 
lieutenant in his father's regiment. His son, Henry M., distin- 
guished himself in improving the western steamboats and clear- 
ing out the Red River Raft. Shreveport was named after him. 
I have also a great deal of his correspondence. He commanded 
a battery at the battle of New Orleans. My grandfather was a 
captain and saw active service during the Revolutionary war. 
There were also two or three others of the family who were 
soldiers, so that notwithstanding their Quaker blood, the family 
was well represented among the American patriots. 

The romantic story of Oara Oara, as forwarded to me by the 
late Samuel H. Shreve : 

Sometime about the close of the Sixteenth, or the beginning 
of the Seventeenth century. Sir William Shreve, Knight, lived 
upon the Isle of Wight. Of his life but little is known ; traditions 
in regard to his early historv vary. One says he came from Italy, 
others that he came from Greece, others that he was a native of 
Southeastern Europe. To account in these cases for his name, 
which is apparently English, it is said he changed it when he 
came to England, or, that it was originally Sherifif. a name that 
formerly was not uncommon in Greece, but was of Mohammedan 
origin, signifying, first, a descendant of Mahomet, and after, a 
nobleman. After his arrival in England he was knighted. Proba- 
bly he was an Englishman who had been sent on some service 
in Italy or Greece by his government, and was rewarded for his 
conduct by a Knighthood. 

He married Lady Elizabeth Fairfax, and had a son, William. 
Tradition says nothing of other descendants. The Fairfax family 
at that time were very prominent in England, and Sir William's 



12 THE GENEAI^OGY AND HISTORY 

marriage with one of its members indicates the high position in 
society he held. 

WiUiam, the son, from his childhood upwards was a great 
favorite with the Lady Abbess of a convent in England, who 
was an old and intimate friend of his parents, and whom he fre- 
quently visited. At this convent, as is the custom at the present 
day, many young ladies, not only of the country, but of foreign 
countries, were educated. 

Among these young ladies was a niece of the Abbess, the only 
daughter of the latter's brother, a wealthy nobleman living in 
Amsterdam, Holland, whose surname was Oara, and who had 
christened his daughter, Oara. 

William and Oara met at the convent, and there occurred the 
old story even in those old days, and there never was a time so 
old that it was not the older old story, and then, as now and ever 
will be, the new, newest, sweetest story. William's young and im- 
pressionable heart knew henceforth no owner but the gentle and 
fair Oara, 

Owing to the Abbess' warm afTection for the one and her re- 
lationship to the other, William had many opportunities of meet- 
ing the young lady, and consequently becoming more and more 
devoted and attached to her, and, as the result showed, his at- 
tentions were not disagreeable. 

The Abbess perceived, too late to mend it, the state of affairs, 
and though she would have been pleased with the union of her 
two young friends, felt it her duty, regretting her previous blind- 
ness, to write immediately to her brother. She acquainted him 
with the fact, knowing her pupil's and her friend's characters, 
that their mutual attachment was of no trifling nature ; she men- 
tioned William's position in society, her high opinion of him, and 
strongly recommended him to her brother's favoj. 

William's visits to the convent after the Abbess' discovery 
were so restricted that his interviews or meetings with Oara 
were limited to chance, the Abbess acting as discreetly as pos- 
sible without betraying her knowledge of their feelings towards 
each other. This course produced the effect that was not in- 
tended, and soon led to a declaration by William of his love, 
which he found was reciprocated, and the stolen meetings always 
ended with mutual pledges of faith and constancy. 

The brother's letter was as the gentle Abbess feared. He was 
indignant, and his letter was full of scorn and reproaches. His 
child to wed an Englishman? Never; even of superior rank to 
her own. But to marry one of inferior rank was a suggestion he 
could not have expected from his sister. The angry and disdain- 
ful letter closed with a peremptory demand that his daughter 
should be immediatelv sent home. 



OF THE SHRE;V£; FAMIIvY. 13 

The Abbess immediately informed William that she had per- 
ceived his attachment for Oara, remonstrated with him on the 
folly of it, as the father would never consent ; and that, therefore, 
she must prohibit meetings between them and send Oara home. 
William was obliged to submit, and the result of his pleadings 
was only to obtain the Abbess' consent to a brief interview with 
the young lady, in which vows of constancy were renewed and 
each encouraged the other to hope for the future. 

Oara's mother was not like her father, "who love nor pity 
knew," but gradually came to sympathize with her daughter, who 
had told her everything. As time wore on and Oara's love 
seemed to become stronger every day, the mother saw that her 
daughter's life-long happiness depended upon William. She had 
already been strongly impressed in his favor by the warm-hearted 
Abbess' letter, and this impression had been made deeper by her 
confiding daughter. She consented at length to a visit from 
William, which was to be made without the knowledge of her 
husband. 

During this time the young man had found means of com- 
municating with Oara, and when he received the permission to 
come to Amsterdam lost no time in setting upon the journey, 
and accompanied by a friendly clergyman, took passage in a 
vessel bound for Amsterdam, and to return in a short time to the 
Isle of Wight. Once in the city he made his presence known to 
Oara and her mother ; the latter, after much hesitation, consented 
to the private marriage of the young couple. This took place 
on board the vessel on the day of the departure for the Isle of 
Wight, where the happy pair remained for some time. 

The mother soon found it was impossible to reconcile the 
father, and Oara became so fearful of his power in England to 
separate her from her husband, that a safe refuge for them was 
sought in America. 

Thus the origin and cause of the Shreve family in America. 
Oara's mother, at her marriage, gave her many presents, and she 
was by no means a penniless bride, some of her jewelrv and silver 
(as claimed) is still in the possession of members of the family. 

Among other things that were brought was a picture of a 
coat of arms, which I was delighted to discover in the garret 
of a relative, when I was a boy. From the peculiar ornamenta- 
tion about the shield, the original picture was evidently made not 
less than about three hundred years ago, and it certainly was 
brought to this country by the family. I cannot find the name 
to which it originally belonged, whether Oara, Shreve, Fairfax 
or any other ; and I have looked in many works on Heraldry. I 
have since found two copies of the same picture in the possession 
of members of the family. Tlie motto, "Fide et Constantia," "with 



14 THE GENEAI^OGY AND HISTORY 

Faith and Constancy," seems quite appropriate for William and 
Oara. 

I give you above and in previous letters, all my authority as to 
the parentage of Caleb Shreve. 

Very respectfully, 

BARCLAY WHITE. 

This splendidly written account is at this date considered ac- 
curate in statement and conclusions by those that have subse- 
quently studied Shreve ancestry, with the exception that Caleb 
Shreve, of New Jersey, is acknowledged the son of Tliomas 
Sheriff, or Shreve, of Rhode Island Colony. This requires the 
removal of the traditional ancestry back one generation and a 
correction of assumed dates and facts to conform, making Will- 
iam Shreve that married Elizabeth Fairfax, born about 1590, and 
Sir William Shreve that married Oara Oara born about 1560. 

Nine years after Mr. Samuel H. Shreve wrote Mr. White the 
preceding letters, Mr. Caleb D. Shreve, of Medford, N. J., now 
residing in Mount Holly, wrote Mr. Francis Bagley Lee, of 
Trenton, N. J., each of whom are genealogists of authority, as 
follows : 

Genealogy of the Shreve family in New Jersey, commencing 
with Caleb Shreve to Caleb D. Shreve, the writer, October 29th, 
1892 : 

I have in my possession the original deed from John Cooke, 
Senior, to John Shreve, both of Portsmouth, R. I., by which he 
conveys to the said John Shreve certain lands in Shrewsbury, 
N. J., bearing date the 9th day of January, 1676 or 1677, and 
which deed has on it the assignment thereof by John Shreve to 
his beloved brother, Caleb Shreve. As the Shreves first settled 
near Shrewsbury, this deed approximately fixes the date of their 
arrival. The brother, John, is supposed to be the ancestor of the 
Shreves in New England. 

Caleb Shreve the First afterward moved to the farm called 
"Mount Pleasant," in Mansfield Township, in the County of 
Burlington, about three miles from what is now the village of 
Columbus. The "Mount" Pleasant is a small but quite conspicu- 
ous round-topped hill in one of the fields. 

Tlie name of Caleb's wife is sometimes spelled Aaronson. She 
was the daughter of Diedrich Areson, of Dutch ancestry, and 
through her it is said that the Shreve family are the rightful heirs 
of a fortune of about twenty millions of dollars over in Holland. 

In August, 1685, the proprietors of the eastern division of New 
Jersey granted a warrant to Jacob Coal and Caleb Shreve (by the 
name of Caleb Sheriff), to lay out or locate one hundred acres of 
land, fifty acres at a place called Fe-pe-que-work-qua, Book L of 
Warrants, page 33, Surveyor General's ofifice, Perth Amboy. 



OF THE shrkve; family. 15 

On January 22nd, 1687, patent was granted to Caleb Shreve 
(by the name of Caleb Sheriff) for eighty-two acres of land on 
Rumson Neck and a branch of Shrewsbury River. Book B of 
East Jersey Deeds and Patents, page 274, at Perth Amboy or 
Trenton. 

On April 22nd, 1699, deed of Richard French to Caleb Shreve 
for three hundred and twenty-five acres at "Mount Pleasant," 
and on which Caleb Shreve settled and which is still in the family, 
excepting one hundred and twenty-five acres of it, which Caleb 
Shreve sold on February 7th, 1812 (Book M, page 413, at Mount 
Holly), conveyed to Thomas Kinsey. The deed from Richard 
French to Caleb Shreve is recorded at Trenton in Book B of 
Deeds, folio 643. Twenty-five days after purchasing of French, 
Caleb Shreve and Sarah, his wife, late of Freehold, in Monmouth 
County, that is to say on May 15th, 1699, conveyed sundry tracts 
of land" to Charles Hubs, of Mandamus Neck, L. I., consideration 
180 pounds, on tract bounded on the north by Burlington Path 
(which went from Burlington to Freehold and forked about one- 
half mile east of Freehold, one branch going to Shrewsbury and 
the other to Middleton), and south by Passaquamequa brook, and 
one lot or meadow at or near the head of Manasquan brook. 

The said Caleb, January nth, 1700, purchased of David Curtiss 
the farm between Upper Springfield Meeting House and 
Wrightstown (his son Joshua afterwards lived there). Book AAA 
of Deeds, page 371, at Trenton. The said Caleb Shreve conveyed 
this last mentioned farm to his son, Joshua, by deed dated 12th 
mo.. II, 171 1. The said Caleb Shreve's will dated April 5th, 
1735, and proved February i8th, 1740, is of record in the office 
of the secretary of state, at Trenton, in Book N 4 of Wills, page 
267. 

Benjamin Shreve, son of the first Caleb Shreve, was born in 
1706. His will is dated March 14th, 1750-51, and recorded in the 
offfce of the secretary of state, at Trenton, in Book 7, page 47. 
His son, Caleb, grandson of Caleb the first, was born in 1734, 
and died in 1792. His son, Benjamin, great grandson of Caleb 
the first, was born in 1759 and died in 1844. His son, Caleb, 
grandson of the grandson of Caleb firsts was born in 1788 and 
died in 1848. His son, Caleb D. (myself), was born in 1833, and 
my son, Caleb Edgar, was born in 1877. I now reside with my 
family in Mount Holly, having moved here from Medford in 
1889. 

Aside from the dates of births and marriages, and the names 
of parents and the parties contracting marriage recorded in the 
monthly meetings of the Society of Friends, it is nearly impos- 
sible to ascertain the history of any family, excepting it is of 
unusual prominence, in the early colonies of the United States. 



16 THJS GBNEAI^OGY AND HISTORY 

This is especially true of the class known as "early pioneers." 
The means of disseminating knowledge of current events were 
meager, and the motive was nearly entirely wanting. Printing 
was expensive until after 1800, and mail facilities were hardly 
known. After the service was established in the more popu- 
lous districts between New York and Boston, it was uncertain 
and slow, and the tax of twenty-five cents on each letter, when 
received, was often a drain on the family finances, as it exceeded 
the value of a bushel of wheat. Communication, therefore, be- 
tween famines in Massachusetts and New Jersey was infrequent, 
and required more time than now from San Francisco to London. 
The attention of the sturdy pioneer was occupied in wresting 
sustenance for his family and his fiocks from the fertile soil that 
abounded at every side, and in taking an active part in the local 
politics of the day. European emigrants brought little wealth, 
and when their kindred in the mother country left estates in 
which their descendants had an interest, before many years proofs 
of ancestry were difBcult to secure, and other technical require- 
ments eventually caused such estates to revert under the laws to 
the crown. 

Markets for extra products were few and often distant. -Some 
of the more persevering and intelligent pioneers had homes em- 
bellished with a little more than the domestic hfe compelled, but 
the vast majority were not nearly so fortunate. Wearing apparel 
from head-wear to foot-wear was "home-made." The furniture of 
the primitive homes was rude and in keeping. It was no small 
part of the work of the women to supply the warm, comfortable 
bedding for the household. The old Dutch ovens and open 
fireplaces were the facilities for cooking, and fire was supplied 
by fiint, steel and tinder. The pine knot, tallow dip and genial 
fireplace afforded light for the long winter evenings. Medicinal 
herbs were gathered from the fields and forests, while the science 
of cure was learned from the friendly Indian. Books were scarce 
and expensive, but the Bible was always the first to enter the 
household. Such were the surroundings of our early ancestors. 
Superior homes only came with development and advancing civ- 
ilization. Many in those times were unaware of better surround- 
ings and certainly never lived to enjoy them. 

It is, therefore, not surprising that the history of entire local- 
ities is summed up in a few lines, and that of individual families 
entirely lost. The old court and church records are the principal 
sources of information. The probate records afTord the names of 
solvent persons and their heirs, with inventory of their estates ; 
while it is the province of the church records to take notice of 
marriages and births, recording the names of all connected with 
those occurrences, and the dates they transpired. When parties 
were insolvent or married "outside" of the church, these records

are unavailing', and the chain of descent is broken. These records 
are frequently imperfect, sometimes entirely lost, often only par- 
tially intelligible, but withal they are of inestimable value to 
genealogists. The next records of value are those attending the 
stirring events of the Revolutionary war, and from that period 
the obstacles to successful research are not so great. 

The ancestry of Thomas Sherifif, of Rhode Island, may be tra- 
ditional, but the early records of that province show conclusively 
that he had eight children and was a property-owner when he 
died. As late as 1737 the members of the family that remained in 
the vicinity retained the name "Sherifif," while Caleb, who had 
married and emigrated to New Jersey, adopted the form 
"Shreve." 

Austin's Dictionary of Rhode Island is authority for the fol- 
lowing :

dau. of Diedrich (or Deric) Areson, of Long Island, about 1680. 
He d. in Burlington Co., New Jersey, in 1741. 
_ Caleb Shreve permanently located in New Jersey on his mar- 
riage, about 1680. He lived after 1699 in Burlington Co., seven 
miles east of the present site of Mount Holly. At that date his 
children numbered seven. The eldest, Martha, was twelve years 
of age ; the five next older were boys, with probably the young- 
est, Mary, an infant ; a daughter and two sons were subsequently 
born. Previous to the birth of the youngest in 1706, the oldest 
daughter, Martha, married, in 1704. 

The family otherwise remained unbroken by marriages until 
1711-1713, during which period Thomas, Joshua, Joseph and 
Caleb married. The marriages of the remaining children oc- 
curred : Jonathan in 1720, Mary in 1721, Sarah in 1724, Benjamin, 
the youngest, in 1729. After marriage the father gave each child 
a fine farm, the precise locations of which are not known. They 
were probably all living in Burlington County in 1739, as the poll 
book of an election held in that county that year has in it the 
names of every son and son-in-law, excepting John Ogborne. 
The four elder children had sons old enough to vote,but they may 
have moved to other places. In the list of voters is an Amos 
Shreve, and Caleb, Jonathan, Samuel and Thomas Scattergood, 
who were probably sons of ]\Iartha Shreve and Benjamin Scat- 
tergood. The descendants of Benjamin, the youngest child, have 
preserved the best history of the family. He acquired from his 
father by will the old homestead, and became, by contract with 
his mother, sole heir to her property, which subsequently they 
construed to cover her interest in the rumored Amsterdam es- 
tate. This instrument was executed February 28th, 1740-41, 
while she was living with Benjamin, and after the marriages of 
her other children. 



20 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

Other branches had heard of the estate, and as a precaution 
had preserved their lineage to protect their future claims ; but 
as they became more remotely removed from the old homestead 
their records are not so complete, and assume a more traditionary 
character. 

There is no reliable authority for a correct tabulation of the 
family of Caleb Shreve and Sarah Areson in the order of ages. 
The order must be conjectured from the dates of their marriages 
shown on the church records of the Society of Friends in Bur- 
lington County, assuming the sons married at the age of twenty- 
one, and the daughters at eighteen, or thereabouts. However, 
the dates of the births of Joshua and Benjamin have been authori- 
tatively transmitted to their respective descendants. The author- 
ity for their names is Caleb Shreve's will, dated April 5th, 1735; 
others may have died in infancy or unmarried previously. The 
authority for the places of their births is the late Samuel H. 
Shreve, of New York City. The places of their deaths, where 
noted, is the probate records of the state. The precise locations 
of their homes are unknown, excepting Benjamin's, nor whether 
their places of residence were permanent or transient. The mar- 
riages of eight were in Burlington Co., New Jersey, by Friends 
Ceremony. There is every reason to believe Joshua's was also 
by Friends Ceremony. No record of David is found, excepting 
in his father's will and the election poll book in 1739 for Bur- 
lington County. Caleb Shreve devised to each : Thomas, "my 
eldest son ;" Joshua, Joseph, Caleb, Jonathan, "my son-in-law" 
Benjamin Scattergood, Mary Gibbs and Sarah Ogborne, five 
shillings ; my son, David Shreve, one good cow — said bequests 
are designated as "compleating his (or her) portion" — undoubt- 
edly referring to the farms given them in his lifetime.

No report has been received of the descendants of Martha 
Scattergood. Several of the name now reside in Burlington Co., 
and probably are descended from her. Her children were born 
between 1704 and 1732. She probably died before 1735. 

The names of the descendants of Thomas Shreve, other than 
his children, are not reported. These are ascertained from his 
will and the church records of marriages. They were born after 
1712, and Hilbournes, Norths and Tylees born after 1740 may be 
descendants of this branch. Whom the two sons and Martha 
married is unknown. Thomas lived and died in Burlington, N. J. 

The tabulation of Joseph Shreve's descendants is not satisfac- 
tory. He resided in Mansfield Township, Burlington County, 
where he died. No inventory of his estate was filed nor any 
record of a settlement, consequently the names of his children 
do not occur in the probate records of the county. He was mar- 
ried to Hope, the daughter of Thomas Harding, by Friends Cere- 
mony. Inasmuch as many descendants in this branch bear her 
name, she must have been an exemplary woman. The descen- 
dants of their son, Caleb, have generally continued to reside in 
Burlington County, and transmitted their genealogy in a reliable 
manner. By the authority of S. H. Shreve, a son, Thomas, is 
placed in the family tabulation. He married March ist, 1740, 
Sarah Shreve, his cousin, daughter of Joshua Shreve, for which 
the Society of Friends "disowned" them. Their descendants are 
not known. A daughter, Ann, married Solomon Southwick by 
Friends Ceremony about 1747. Some of their descendants live 
in Burlington County. Another child, Mercy, is placed in the fam- 
ily tabulation on the authority of Mrs. Mary A. Hand. Mercy 
Shreve married James White about 1747. Mrs. Hand's paternal 
grandmother, Hope Robbins, was a cousin of her maternal 



22 THE GENEAI^OGY AND HISTORY 

grandfather, Isaac Shreve. They, therefore, were grandchildren 
of Josei^h Shreve and Hope Harding. Hope Robbins' parents 
were Mercy and James White. There may have been other 
children. Joseph Shreve's family were born after 171 1. 

The children of Joshua Shreve were born after 171 3, and the 
family tabulation as to names is satisfactory. The order of births 
is unknown. Marriages occur from 1728 to 1750, and Curtises, 
Shinns and Becks born after those dates may be descendants. 
Several of those names reside in Burlington Co., but their ances- 
try is unknown. James Shreve's descendants generally remained 
in Burlington Co., or New Jersey. Caleb's emigrated to Vir- 
ginia, then Pennsylvania, Ohio and the far West. Sarah married 
her cousin, Thomas Shreve, and the Society of Friends "dis- 
owned" them. ]\Iercy Mathis' descendants located generally in 
the eastern part of New Jersey, as did Faith Butler's. There may 
have been other children that died in infancy or unmarried. The 
tabulation is on the authority of S. H. Shreve. 

The tabulation of the family of Caleb Shreve is by authority 
of the late S. H. Shreve. No further reports have been made of 
descendants. The children were born after 1713. The Amos 
Shreve that voted in BurHngton Co. in 1739 is probably his 
son. There are reasons to believe that Joshua Shreve, that mar- 
ried Vashti Rogers, was the child of Amos, and that the daugh- 
ter, Mary, married John Haines, and left many descendants who 
remained in New Jersey. Gaskills born after 1737 may be de- 
scendants. There may have been others that died in infancy or 
unmarried. 

If Jonathan Shreve had children they were born after 1721. 
None are reported. 

The children of Mary Gibbs were born after 1722. None have 
been reported. 

The descendants of Sarah Ogborne (or Ogbourne) are also un- 
known ; if any they were born after 1724. 

David Shreve is only mentioned in his father's will and in the 
poll book of the election held in Burlington County, N. J., in 
1739. If he had descendants, they were probably born not 
earlier than 1723. 

The genealogy of the descendants of Benjamin Shreve, the 
youngest child, is the most satisfactory. For several generations 
they remained in the vicinity of the old homestead, which was 
duly transmitted to descendants of that branch. The late Samuel 
H. Shreve, of New York City, was a great, great grandson, and 
took great interest in the latter part of his life in family genealogy, 
not confining himself to his own branch. All Shreve descendants 
are indebted to him, and it is a matter of regret that he did not 
live to see some of his laudable hopes bear fruition, one of which 
was the purchase of the old homestead by an association of de- 
scendants, to be perpetually transmitted to later generations. 



OF THK SHREVE FAMILY. 23 

Of the children of Caleb Shreve and Sarah Areson, the de- 
scendants of five are unknown, three daughters and two sons. 
There is little doubt that all had descendants, with the possible 
exception of one son. The names of thirty-one grandchildren 
are known. All were born between 1712 and 1750; twenty-three 
are known to have married, the marriages occurring between 
1728 and 1771. One died unmarried. The marriages of five are 
uncertain, and two probably married, but are not so reported. 

Caleb Shreve and Sarah Areson's children, or the second gen- 
eration, intermarried between 1704 and 1730, with Scattergoods, 
Allisons, Hardings, (one unknown), two with Hunts, Gibbs, 
Ogbournes, (one doubtful), and Frenchs. The surnames of the 
children of this second generation are Scattergood, Shreve, Gibbs 
and Ogbourne. 

The next, or the third generation, the issue of the five re- 
ported second generation, intermarried with Hilbournes, Norths, 
Tylees, Antrims, Shreves, Whites, Southwicks, Davis, Thorns, 
Curtis, Shreves, Mathis, Butler, Shinn, Beck, Gaskills, (one un- 
known), one probably Haines, Ivins, Pancoasts, (one un- 
known), Curtis, Cokeley, Very, Wood, Scattergood, Beck, Nix- 
on, and (probably) Trout ; and the surnames of the children of 
this third generation, or the fourth generation are Hilbourne, 
North, Tylee, White, Southwick, Curtis, Shreve, Mathis, Butler, 
Shinn, Beck, Gaskill, Haines, Ivins, Scattergood, Beck. 

The religious principles of the Society of Friends were thor- 
oughly imbedded in the Shreve descendants until the period of 
the Revolutionary war, when the stirring events of those times 
compelled many averse to war to take an active part in the de- 
fense, not only of their political principles, but their property. 
The society "disowned" their members when even remotely par- 
ticipating, yet their principles permitted their return on "making 
acknowledgment to satisfaction." Many did this, but others 
never returned. The women were not subject to such discipline 
and reared the youth according to the faith. 

17. ii. THOMAS SHREVE, probably the second child and 
eldest son of Caleb Shreve and Sarah Areson, was b. on Narum- 
sunk in New Jersey, 168 — ; m. Elizabeth, dau. of Richard Aleson 
(or Allison), of BurHngton, N. J., May 26th, 171 1, by Friends 
Ceremony at Burlington, Mo. Meeting. He d. in Burlington Co.,

Thomas Shreve lived in Burlington, N. J. His will is dated Feb- 
ruary 23d, 1746, proved July 24th, 1747, and recorded in the of- 
fice of secretary of state, Trenton, N. J., in Book 5, page 362, of 
Wills.

Burlington Co., N. J., July 3d, 171 1. He d. intestate in Burhng-

The parents of Joseph Shreve moved to Freehold, Monmouth 
Co., N. J., in 1692, from thence in 1699 to Mansfield Township, 
Burlington Co., N. J., where they lived, their children married 
cind they died. Very little is known of Joseph Shreve and his fam- 
ily. In his lifetime his father gave him a fine farm in Burlington 
Po., where he lived and died, probably in Mansfield Township. 
The 15th of October, 1757, letters of administration were granted 
on his estate to Thomas Shreve, "he being Duly affirmed and 
Giving Security well and well and truly to administer the said 
Deceased's Estate, to Exhibit a true and perfect Inventory and 
to render a Just and true account thereof." (State Records, Tren- 
ton, N. J., Book 8 of Wills, page 517.) There is no record of the 
settlement of the estate or the names of his heirs to be found in 
Burlington County or Trenton. N. J. The state records desig- 
nate Joseph Shreve as grantee in transfers recorded in Book E, 
pages 221, 222, and in Book DD, pages 78 and 253 as grantor. 
His wife, Hope Harding, was born June nth, 1694, and he was 
at least sixty-five or seventy years of age at his death. Those 
best posted in Shreve history name four children. There were 
probably others, which unfortunately cannot with any degree of 
certainty be placed in the family tabulation. 

A white oak walking cane, with a silver head cap, containing a 
Spanish half-dollar, dated 1742, is an heirloom from this ances- 
tor, now in possession of Dr. Joseph Shreve, of Burlington, N. J., 
the title passing to his son, Caleb ; then to his son, Joseph ; 
thence to his son, Joseph ; then to his son, Joseph ; thence to his 
nephew, Joseph, the present owner, by will.

Joshua Shreve was an approved and esteemed minister of the 
Society of Friends, traveling on horseback in the ministry as far 
south as Virginia, and as far north as Massachusetts, holding 
and attending meetings on his way there and on his return. He 
lived in Springfield Township, Burlington Co., N. J., adjoining 
Richard Stockton. He gave to the Society of Friends four acres 
of land from his farm, on which to erect a meeting house, and 
for a graveyard. This was built in 1727, and that date is still to 
be seen in the brick work over the door. It is located about one- 
half mile from Wrightstown, and is known as Upper Springfield 
Meeting. Previous to its erection Friends in the neighborhood 
attended meeting at Crosswicks. May 6th, 1749, Chesterfield 1 
Meeting granted him a certificate "to make a religious visit in 
the government of Pennsylvania. Maryland and Virginia." April 
7th, 1750. he produced a certificate from Fairfax, Va., which was 
"to satisfaction." (Chesterfield Monthly Meeting Records.) His 
children were born in Springfield Township,

Freelove Dyer (b. June 21st, 1699). He d. about 1750, in Fairfax 
Co., Va. 

Freelove Dyer was born in Little Compton, R. I., and was the 
great grandchild of Mary and William Dyer. Charles Dyer, their 
sixth child, had a son, James Dyer, who was the father of Free- 
love. Charles Dyer was born in 1650, and died May 15th, 1709. 

His first wife was Mary , and his second wife, Martha 

Wait, widow of Jeremiah. James Dyer, his son, was born in Lit- 
tle Compton, and married in 1696. Freelove Dyer's brother, 
Charles, was born March 22nd, 1697, and married Elizabeth 
Shreve, sister of William Shreve, the husband of Freelove. James 
Dyer moved with his family to Bucks Co., Pa., and died there 
about 1735. Letters of administration were granted on his estate 
Jan. 29th, 1735-6, to William Shreve, his son-in-law. The sureties 
were William Shreve and Henry Van Horn. About 1745 William 
Shreve and Freelove Dyer went to Fairfax Co., Va., to live. He 
died there about 1750. His widow, Freelove, appears upon the 
court records of Fairfax and Loudon Counties, petitioning for 
her dower, and her sons, Benjamin and William, are acting for 
her. William Dyer, the great grandfather of Freelove Dyer 
Shreve, was the first attorney general for Rhode Island, in 1650, 
and one of the original settlers. Commander-in-Chief upon the 
sea. He was sent to England in 1653 to revise the charter, and 
was one of the most prominent men in Rhode Island in its early 
colonial history. His wife, Mary Dyer, was hung on Boston com- 
mon in 1660, for preaching the Quaker doctrine in that city.

I. Thomas Sheriff and Martha . 

II. Caleb Shreve and Sarah Areson (3. iii.). 

III. Joseph Shreve and Hope Harding (18. iii.). 

IV. Mercy Shreve and James White (31), 

31. MERCY SHREVE, child of Joseph Shreve and Hope 
Harding, was born in Burlington Co., N.J., not earlier than 1725 ; 
m. James White about 1747; d. . 

Very little is known of Mercy Shreve. She probably was 
reared in Burlington Co., N. J., and lived in West New Jersey 
in the vicinity of Philadelphia and later in Virginia. The best 
record states James White was a planter in Virginia and of 
English descent. He was living between 1785 and 1790 in that 
state, and about that time on the occasion of a visit from his 
second son, Thomas, and James, Thomas White's eldest son, 
then quite young, he gave a family dinner party in their honor, 
and at the dinner table were seated fourteen Thomas Whites, 
all relatives. The incident appears authentic. Mercy White 
probably visited her relatives near Chesterfield, N. J., in 1783, 
as on Dec. 4th, she was a witness to a marriage by Friends Cere- 
mony at Chesterfield Meeting. Nothing further is known of the 
parents. The places of the births of their children are not 
known. The dates of their births and their names are authentic. 

The eldest, Sarah, married a Mr. Cooper, and probably 

previously a Mr, Newton. She was living in 1807 i^ 

Philadelphia, and with her a niece and namesake, which she had 
reared, the mother having died while she was an infant. She 
was then known as Mrs. Sarah Cooper. It is not known that she 
had descendants, very likely none. At an early day three 
sons, Joseph, Thomas and Robert, emigrated to Western Penn- 
sylvania, and later to Eastern and Central Ohio, where they en- 
dured all the sufiferings and trials of early pioneers. Hope mar- 
ried and remained in Philadelphia or its vicinity in New Jersey. 
The four remaining daughters and one son probably died in in- 
fancy or unmarried. 

[Fifth Generation]. Children: 

I. i. Sarah White ; b. Aug. 31, 1748; m. Cooper; d. 

probably in Philadelphia.

He d. at Mt. Eaton, O., Apr. 15th. 1825. 

A descendant writes : My great grandparents lived in Beaver 
Co., Pa. I think Wilksborough was my father's birthplace. They 
must have died in Ohio somewhere. They seemed to have lived 
with their children. Great grandmother, I think, lived with her 
son, Joseph W. White, in Medina Co., O., at Chardon, the coun- 
ty seat. My mother saw her after my parents' marriage, as they 
made them a visit. She said great grandmother was very old, 
and at times her mind wandered when she talked of her troubles ; 
at other times her mind was all right and she was very pleasant 
and quiet — no trouble at all. Great grandfather, it seems, lived 
with his daughters. I think he lived nearly 100 years and died 
in the woods, where he wandered. My impression is his body 
was never found. Ohio' in those days was a dense forest, and 
wolves and panthers were as plentiful as sheep are now. They 
lived apart in their old days and were taken care of by their chil- 
dren. I do not think great grandfather ever had a burial.

and his family, in company with several others, embarked in a

Sciota and Ohio Rivers to Cairo, from where it was "cordelled" 
up the Mississippi to the mouth of Wood River, in Madison 
County, 111., a point about twenty miles above St. Louis. Here 
they passed the first winter, making themselves as comfortable 
as possible. The next spring they moved about 45 miles farther

north, to what is now Greene County, III, and were the first set- 
tlers north of Apple Creek, in that county. On the homestead 
they selected they lived thirty years. Their daily lives were those 
of the early pioneers, ever filled with hard toil to secure and main- 
tain a comfortable home. They were through life members of 
the M. E. Church, and devoted Christians. Their home was the 
haven of the early itinerant minister, and their influence always 
for piety, morality and education.

ing place of the early itinerant ministers. They were, from early 
Hfe, members of the M. E. Church.

OF the; shre;ve family. 43 

Mrs. Emma Sheets writes : "I am living on the farm my father, 
Lewis Shreve White, entered from the land office at Steuben- 
ville, O., and he and mother cleared up, first building a log house 
and barn, and then as soon as able a large bank barn and after- 
ward a large frame house. The log house is yet on the place ; 
in it were born mother and father's eight children, and the first 
grandchild. Of the children, but the two oldest and the youngest 
are living. When my brother, Cyrus, mother's main support at 
the time, died, my husband, who is a carpenter by trade, and my- 
self, moved from Alliance to the farm for the sole purpose of tak- 
ing care of my dear aged mother, who is quite feeble, and Brother 
Joel, who never married. Many cares keep me very busy. I have 
no living children. Grandfather came from Athens Co., O. Moth- 
er remembers the war of 1812. Coming here when all was a wil- 
derness, she has seen a great many Indians. She has helped to 
make maple sugar in every field as they cleared them up to pay 
for the land. Wild animals were numerous, and trees were blazed 
for a traveling guide. Mother says we do not appreciate the 
hardships and trials of pioneer life. Brother Lewis K. White was 
mustered in the U. S. service by Capt. A. E. Drake, 2d Inft., 
U. S. A., Sept. i8th, 1862, at Camp Massillon, O. ; was captured 
at the battle of Nashville, Tenn., and taken to Andersonville, 
Ga. ; was there several months ; then discharged and died at 
St. Louis, Mo., on his way home, of chronic diarrhoea. He was in 
Co. F, 115th Reg., Ohio Inft. Vols." T\Irs. White has since died. 
The local paper says : "She has been a remarkable woman, re- 
taining her faculties up to the time of her death."

Samuel Shreve, of Longacoming, commenced his business life 
with Mark Reeve, a merchant of Medford, Burlington Co., N. J. 
Reeve was the patentee of cut nails and began their manufacture 
at Medford by horsepower. He later built a factory at the Falls of 
Schuylkill, Philadelphia, where he manufactured them for some 
time. The subsequent history of the cut nail business is well 
known. About 1864, Reeve died, in Tennessee. Samuel Shreve 
was with him many years. After leaving him he settled in Longa- 
coming, Gloucester Co., N. J., where in 1816 or 181 7 he engaged 
in the mercantile business with Jonathan Haines. They pur- 
chased of Thomas Wright a store room and forty-two and one- 
half acres of land. In 1818 Samuel Shreve bought his partner's 
interest and continued the business. In 1819 he married Ann 
Haines, and about the same year associated farming with his 
mercantile interests. He was also interested in the manufacture 
of glass, at Clemington, the first glass works in New Jersey, lo- 
cated four miles from Longacoming. Jonathan Haines had in the 
meantime started the Waterford Glass Works, and operated them 
very successfully eight years when he died. Within a very short 
time thereafter Joseph Porter, Thomas Ivens, of Haddonfield, 
Samuel Shreve, of Longacoming, and John Ivens, of IMarleton, 
formed a co-partnership and succeeded to the business at W^ater- 
ford, which for a long time was the leading glass manufacturing 
establishment in the United States, supplying New York. Phila- 
delphia and Boston markets with their products. They operated 



"60 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

the works nearly thirty years. Samuel Shreve retired^ and in 
1834 bought property at Evesham Mount, now Mount Laurel, 
where he built a new home, leaving Longacoming for about 
twenty years. His children grew up and his son, Joseph, marry- 
ing, settled at the old homestead in Longacoming. On his daugh- 
ter, Martha's, marriage, he built for her a new home at the same 
place. Samuel and his wife returned to Longacoming, living 
with their daughter, where they died. Their remains were buried 
in Mount Laurel Cemetery.

"A hasty newspaper sketch can hardly do justice to such a 
noble man. An active and honorable career of over half a cen- 
tury in our midst, caused him to be familiar to every one. While 
maintaining a proper dignity, the poorest resident sought his 
advice and assistance without the slightest hesitation. His coun- 
tenance was the true index of his honest heart. With all his 



66 the; genealogy and history 

erudition and wealth, he was a humble man. He belonged to 
a school, which, unfortunately, appears to be on the decline. A 
great, broad-minded citizen, he towered far above the petty ob- 
stacles of life, and leaves an enduring monument in the hearts of 
those who had the honor to rank among his friends. 

"Mahlon Hutchinson, lawyer, was born May loth, 1823, in 
the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was a son of the lare 
Randel Hutchinson, Jr., who married Mary Keller, both natives 
of that State ; the former being of Welsh descent, while the lat- 
ter was of German lineage. Mahlon received his preliminary 
education at the Lawrenceville High School, and graduated with 
the highest honor; he subsequently entered Princeton College in 
1840, and remained there until 1841, being a classmate of the 
Hon. John P. Stockton, now Attorney General of New Jersey. 
Having determined to embrace the legal profession, he entered 
as a student the office of the Hon. Henry W. Green, with whom 
he remained until he completed the prescribed course of read- 
ing; and was licensed as an attorney in 1845, ^^^^ ^^ counselor 
in 1854. He immediately entered upon the practice of his pro- 
fession, locating at Bordentown, where he remained ever since 
engaged in legal pursuits, and had the control of an extensive 
and lucrative line of patronage. In 1853, he was elected on the 
Whig ticket a member of the Legislature, from the First district 
of Burlington county ; that being the first year when the district 
system was adopted in this county. While a member of the 
House in 1853 and 1854, he served on several important com- 
mittees, chief among them being those on the Judiciary, the 
Educational and on the Insane Asylum ; he declined a nomina- 
tion for the year 1855. He was appointed in i860, by Governor 
Olden, Prosecutor of Pleas for Burlington county, which posi- 
tion he retained for five years. He was likewise commissioned 
as one of the Commissioners of the Supreme Court of New Jer- 
sey. Also United States Commissioner, and in addition, held the 
position of a Master and Examiner in Chancery. He was Presi- 
dential elector on the Republican ticket in the year 1884. He 
served as a member of the Public School Board for three years, 
and was President of the Board of Trustees of the Bordentown 
Female College. He had been for the past 36 years a Director 
of the Bordentown Bank, and its President at the time of his 
death. He has been the trusted representative of many large 
estates belonging to residents of this city, now deceased, 
viz. : Samuel Pancoast, Emily Pancoast, Samuel C. Taylor, Sam- 
uel Bunting. He was also Director of the First National Bank 
of Trenton. He was an elder of the Presbyterian Church for 
many years, and was a generous and liberal supporter of the 
church. He presented the parsonage to the church about three 
years ago. He was instrumental in moving the location of the 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 67 

church to upper Hammond Avenue, and contributed largely to 
the building of the same. He has ever taken an active interest 
in the affairs of his adopted State, especially in connection with 
the various lines of railway, which have been constructed within 
the past twenty-five years. Since the disintegration of the Whig 
party he has af^liated with the Republican organization. He was 
first married to Anna Elizabeth Hamilton, of Trenton, N. J. 
She and her daughter both died the same year. He was married 
February 23d, 1848, to Amy Newbold Shreve, daughter of Caleb 
Shreve, of Mansfield, Burlington county." — (From Bordentown

They were buried at Mansfield, N. J. She survived him, living 
with her sons Charles, Isaac and Thomas. The former purchased 
a part of the homestead, on which he built a new home. A de- 
scendant writes : 

"The Tsaac Shreve homestead' consisted of one thousand or 
more acres of land, two miles south of Bordentown, N. J. The 
family residence was about one-fourth of a mile south of a place 
called "the square." The soil was very good and the financial 
condition of the family was excellent. Originally, some Indian 
families continued to occupy part of the old place and were

allowed peaceable possession of their lands until they died. They 
were regularly fed in winter by the Shreve family and the doors 
at night were not locked, so that it sometimes happened that a 
company of Indians would enter the farm house, still warm from 
the generous fires of the evening. The Indians, in accordance 
with previous permission, would put wood upon the embers in 
the large fireplace and make a good fire, then go to the larder 
and get what was in sight, cook what they wished to eat, make 
some hot cofTee, eat and drink in silence, put the remainder 
away carefully, sweep the floor, cover up the fire, shut the doors 
carefully and then retire to their wigwams in peace, the Shreve 
family now and then taking a peep of interest to see if they had 
enough to eat, or sleeping entirely composed, as the Shreves can 
sleep like all good Hollanders can. The last Indians to live on 
the property were two women named Tryphemia and Moll — no 
other name — who were taken care of while they lived. Isaac 
Shreve alwavs kept in his stable a horse which would pull the 
stages on their way from Philadelphia and New York out of the 
clay slough when the four stage horses were taken out after they 
had in vain tried it. The horse seemed proud of his prowess 
and was always kept in certain seasons harnessed in readiness for 
the work. The stage drivers always stopped on their way to 
partake of Mr. Shreve's hospitality and the passengers would 
get a share also. Isaac Shreve and his wife, Abigail, attended 
the Friends' meeting at Mansfield ; in the Friends' graveyard 
they are buried, as are many others of the Shreve family. 

"I was present (a child of five or six years) when grandmother 
was buried. The love, sympathy and patience of her and her 
children I never expect to see again on earth. I could appreciate 
them, although so young. I stayed awhile after the funeral, and 
was taken to the dififerent homes on little visits. Everywhere it 
was the same. Peace and rest seem to have pervaded every 
home. No jarrings, no disputings, no complaining. I must give 
this tribute to the Shreve family. They were known everywhere 
for their peaceful traits and hospitality." 

Mrs. Caroline Bridge, the writer, continues : "It is rather re- 
markable that in all my acquaintance with the Shreve family, 
of course very extensive, I have met with none who have not 
been either a Whig in the past or a staunch Republican in later 
times."

William Tiel, in 1845, at Bordentown, N. J. He d. Nov. 6th, 1887, 
in Franklin, Venango Co., Pa., at the residence of his brother-in- 
law, John Tiel. 

William Ambrose Shreve was remarkable for enterprise and 
urbanity. He embarked in the oil business in Oil City, Pa., and 
soon made a fortune at the commencement of the oil boom in 
that locality. Previously he had successfully engaged in gold 
mining in California. His sons went with him to prosecute 
mining. His wife and her sisters accompanied him to his silver 
mining property, where he had built a handsome residence. Mrs. 
Tiel and her sister a few days after their arrival at Owensville be- 
came suddenly ill and died about the same hour and were buried 
in one of the cemeteries near the big trees of Mariposa. Those 
who knew the persons well understand the sadness of the sepa- 
ration in life and death. 

As Bordentown was always the home of the deceased, no 
matter to what part of the country he went for a season, he and 
his family are well known to most of our readers. His life was 
an eventful one, and a history of his experience would fill a 
good-sized volume. In 1849 '^e went to the Golden State, but, 
contrary to the rule of the day, did not engage in mining for 
the precious metal. There were fortunes to be made in other 
channels. Mr. Shreve was the first man to discover lime rock 
in California and he manufactured the first bricks ever used in 
the construction of a building in San Francisco. He had nu- 
merous lime kilns and brickyards, and there was a brisk de- 
mand for their product. After accumulating over $100,000, he 
returned to Bordentown and erected the handsome mansion on 
Farnsworth avenue, above Burlington street. The spacious 
grounds were beautified with rare plants and flowers, fountains 



74 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

and statuary. He had a large family, and they enjoyed their 
good fortune until reverses set in. At this juncture petroleum 
was discovered, and Mr. Shreve and the late John L. McKnight 
owned and controlled large tracts of land in the coal regions of 
Pennsylvania. The new discovery made Mr. Shreve a million- 
aire. Retiring from business a second time, he refitted his man- 
sion, and the surrounding gardens were made far more beauti- 
ful than ever. On every side evidence was furnished of the ex- 
treme liberality of Mr. Shreve. He entertained like a prince. In 
an unfortunate moment he was beguiled into cotton speculation 
in New York. Then it was the old, old story — advancing thou- 
sands in the hope of preserving other thousands in danger of 
being swept away. Those who know how even so sagacious 
a man as the late President Grant had his millions to melt away 
without the power to prevent it, may fancy the position of the 
deceased. Once more fate had decreed that he should fight 
fickle fortune. Blessed with an ambition that never admitted 
the thought of failure, he once more went valiantly to work. This 
time he engaged in cattle raising, connecting himself with a 
company having a ranch in New Mexico and Nebraska. Tiring 
of New Mexico, and depressed by the death of his estimable wife 
in California, he came east. After a few years he accidentally 
made the discovery that he still held the title to productive oil 
property in Pennsylvania. Thither he went, and, after gathering 
sufficient funds, he determined to start this week to Nebraska 
and work his cattle ranch with all energy. But "man proposes 
and God disposes." The letter he mailed to his brother in this 
city — a missive of four pages, teeming with the writer's bril- 
liant prospects — did not reach its destination until a few hours 
after the sorrowful telegram announcing his death. 

Mr. Shreve was a kind, noble man. His friendship knew no 
bounds. He saw only the bright side of everything. Had he 
been more thoughtful of self and less generous to others — less 
confident in those who understood the wiles of the world better 
than he — to-day he might have been living in affluence and hap- 
piness. The years of continual strain on his fine nervous sys- 
tem was too much for poor human nature to withstand. The vi- 
tal cord was suddenly snapped and the spark of hfe went out 
forever in a moment of time. 

The remains were brought here to his native place, and ves- 
terday, amid the genuine sorrow of old friends and relatives, laid 
away in the Bordentown cemetery. — From Bordentown, N. J., 
Paper. 

Mr. Shreve at one time was a prominent figure in the oil busi- 
ness. He came to this city in 1861, from Bordentown, N. J., 
where he was engaged in the banking business. At various times 
he was associated with divers persons in the oil business, and 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 75 

the firms of Shreve & Tilson and Shreve & Marston were well 
known in the commerce of the region. He was a director of 
the Columbia Oil Company and one of the largest holders of its 
stock ; he was interested in the Egbert farm and owned stock in 
the Sherman and Caldwell wells, two of the best known gushers 
of their day. He organized and was the first president of the 
First National Bank of this city. In 1865 he went to New York 
and in connection with Tilson and Rehren engaged in the bank- 
ing business. They opened a branch banking house in the 
South, and through the speculation of its cashier the banks lost 
money. Mr. Shreve, after residing in New Jersey for some years, 
came back to the oil country. About four years ago he moved 
to California, where two years later Mrs. Shreve died. At the 
time of his death he owned important mining interests in Mari- 
posa county, California, where his two sons, William T. and 
Harry, all that now remain of his family, reside. He was a heavy 
investor in mining stock, and it was his misfortune to be a co- 
sufTerer with many of his old friends and former townsmen in 
the late lamented Sunset mine. He was interested with Pool 
Bros., of Pithole memory, in valuable tracts of agricultural lands 
in Nebraska. Mr. Shreve was a genial gentleman, large hearted 
and generous to a fault. Of the many anecdotes related of his 
generosity this one will bear repeating. During a period of de- 
pression in the oil business in the early days, things looked blue 
and the business seemed to be going to the bowwows about as 
fast as it could go. Investors grew panicky and wanted out ; in 
their anxiety to let go choice stocks went at a sacrifice. Shreve 
bought a large block of Columbia oil stock for something like 
$10,000; at all events, the stock brought but a fraction of its 
real value. Mr. Shreve advised the party to hold on to what he 
had and get more if he could. At last, as a favor to the seller, 
too, he took the stock oi¥ his hands at a price mutually agreed 
upon. In a short time Mr. Shreve sold the same stock at an 
advance of $350,000. Then he hunted up the panicky seller and 
made him a present of $50,000. 

His last ventures in oil were made with Mr. S. H. Lamber- 
ton, of this city, at Four Mile, N. Y. 

So long as he had means no deserving charity passed him by 
unnoticed. His hosts of friends in this region will be pained to 
hear of his death. — From Oil City, Pa., Paper.

of Middle Fork Church. At once commenced house keeping in 
a one and one-half story hewed log house of four rooms, about 
one mile from her father's, living there about fifteen years. They 
sold this farm and bought 280 acres of land near by, mostly cov- 
ered with a dense growth of timber and underbrush, where they 
moved and lived in enjoyment for about twelve years, when 
again they sold their property, moved to Cross Plains, Ind., 
where Mr. Bassett formed a co-partnership with his son-in-law, 
Jacob Lacock, they buying a carding and fueling mill in connec- 
tion with a grist and saw mill, with 50 acres of land. They were 
dissatisfied with business life and again sold their property, seek- 
ing a home in the then thinly settled county of Linn, Iowa. In 
this county, with their family, in 1855, they located on a farm 
adjoining Linn Grove. They again sold their property and 
moved to Mount Vernon, a small country town. At this time 
they purchased a farm one and one-half miles north of the place 
to which they moved. Here Mr. Bassett died, and she operated 
the farm for five years. She then sold it and moved to Mount 
Vernon, Iowa, where she now resides, having purchased prop- 
erty there.

Joshua Shreve lived for years in Perry Co., O., where his 
children were born and reared to manhood and womanhood. 
He, in those early days, drove a six-horse team over the moun- 
tains, carrying freight from town to town, while his family cul- 
tivated the farm. When of age, his family scattered, several 
coming to Illinois, where he came in 1857. His wife had died 
several years previous. He died at the home of his son James, 
having lived a devoted Christian life, loved by all who knew him.

Although reared in the peaceful doctrines of the Society of 
Friends. Captain Richard L. R. Shreve was the voungest of four 
brothers that volunteered in the Union army 'in the late Civil 
W an _ Mr. Shreve left a mercantile pursuit and a pleasant home 
to jom the National Guards— Captain Neff— as a private. He 
served three months in that capacity with honor and was among 
the first wounded in that campaign. Scarcely a week had elapsed 
after his company had been mustered out before he joined the 
72d Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers. Company I, as Second 
Lieutenant, and at the close of the year 1861 was promoted to 
the First Lieutenancy for gallant conduct on the field of bat-

tie. In 1862, for like meritorious conduct, he received a Captain's 
commission and at the unanimous request of Company B, of 
the same regiment, was assigned to that brave but ill-fated com- 
pany which had already lost three captains in battle. In the ter- 
rific struggle at Gettysburg Capt. Shreve received a fourth 
wound that shattered his left arm and deprived him of its use. 
In this disabled condition impelled by the noblest impulses of 
duty and patriotism, he left a young and confiding wife to whom 
he had been married but a few months and was devotedly at- 
tached, to join his company and lead it again into the very whirl- 
pool of death. Within ten days his lifeless body was returned to 
his sorrowing family and friends. Capt. Shreve died in the full 
consciousness of his Christian training. On leaving home for 
the last time he remarked that he "never went into battle with- 
out first offering up a prayer to the Giver of all Good for guidance 
and protection." His was a noble character and an honorable 
death. He was the second of the four brothers tO: die in bat- 
tle — at the time two others were bearing arms.

Charles Shreve was President of the old State Bank of Mount 
Holly. 

Rebecca Pitman Cox, through her mother, was of Scotch and 
Huguenot extraction. Jane Ross, her mother, was the daughter 
of Dr. Alexander Ross and Elizabeth Becket. Dr. Ross was 
born in Scotland in 171 3 and was a son of John Ross of ,Carn- |j 
brock, a small estate near Stranrad, Wyntonshire, Scotland, 
which his family had owned for many generations. Dr. Ross 
graduated from the University of Edinburg and during the first 
half of the last century came to America, settling in Bristol, Pa., 
where he practiced medicine with Dr. John Abraham De Nor- 
mandie, whose niece, Elizabeth Becket, he subsequently married. 
He also practiced in Burlington, N. J., and finally located about 
1752 in Mount Holly, N. J., where he died May lo'th, 1780, his re- 
mains being buried in St. Andrew's churchyard in that place. He 



OF THE SHREVE FA.MILY. 199 

was one of the most skillful and prominent physicians in South 
Jersey, in his practice covering an extent of territory the circuit 
of which required two weeks to travel, on which occasions he 
rode an old black mare with his saddlebags stuffed with medi- 
cines, and often slept in the fields or forest, wherever night over- 
took him. 

Elizabeth Becket's grandmother was Marguerite De Norman- 
die, who at the revocation of the edict of Nantes fled with her 
family from France to Geneva, from there to England, then set- 
tling in Bristol, Pa., where her son, John A. De Normandie, was 
born in July, 1713. The latter was a man of extensive travel, of 
great learning and scientific attainments ; a member of the Amer- 
ican Philosophical Society of Philadelphia in 1768 and of the New 
Jersey Medical Society in 1790. 

Richard Cox, the father of Rebecca Pitman Cox, was born in 
1754 and died in 1816 in Mount Holly, N. J. He was Lieutenant 
in the Third Regiment of Continental Troops raised in New Jer- 
sey, which joined the Northern Army in 1776 and in garrison at 
Ticonderoga, 1777. In the spring he raised a company in the 
same regiment and near the close of the Revolutionary war rose 
by regular promotion to a Majority. Major Cox, being a good 
disciplinarian, was sometimes inspector of the "Jersey Brigade," 
and universally esteemed an intelligent, active, brave officer. The 
Jersey line of ofificers, knowing his correctness in accounts and 
his integrity, chose him treasurer of the Society of the Cincinnati 
in New Jersey on its first institution, in 1783, and annually re- 
elected him until 181 1, when on account of his ill-health he de- 
clined, and received the thanks of the society for his faithful dis- 
charge of the duties of treasurer for twenty-eight years.

200 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

342. i. RICHARD cox SHREVE, the eldest child of 
Charles Shreve and Rebecca Pitman Cox, was b. in Mount Holly, 
N. J., May 22d, 1808 ; m. ist, Elizabeth Earl ; 2d, Rebecca Jenks ; 
3d, Jane Elizabeth Whittaker. He d. in Mount Holly, N. J., 
April i8th, 1896. 

One of the oldest and most respected citizens of Mount Holly 
passed away on Saturday evening, when Richard C. Shreve died 
at his residence on Mill street, of apoplexy, after a short illness. 
He was the oldest subscriber of the Mirror at the time of his 
death. 

The following sketch of his eventful career is from the pen of 
Isaac W. Pennypacker, of Mount Holly : 

Richard Cox Shreve was born in Mount Holly, May 22d, 1808. 
He well remembered being driven about the streets of Mount 
Holly by his grandfather, Major Richard Cox, an ofBcer of the 
Continental Army, to see the illumination in 181 5, in honor of the 
treaty of peace ending the second war with England. When a 
lad of seven years he spent six months with his Uncle Wilmer, 
father of Bishop Wilmer, of Alabama, and then went to the 
Friends' boarding school at Westtown. Pa. In 1823, when 15 
years old, he entered a relative's store at Wrightstown, N. J., and 
soon became the manager. There he frequently saw Murat and 
Joseph Bonaparte. In 1830, on attaining his majority, he re- 
turned to Mount Holly to take charge, with his brother Alexan- 
der, of the large mill property which they had inherited from their 
father. 

From this time Richard C. Shreve was one of the most active 
and respected citizens of Burlington county. He was foremost 
in every local enterprise. His first vote was cast for John Ouincy 
Adams for President against Andrew Jackson, and during life he 
voted the Whig or Republican ticket. He was intimate with 
Samuel L. Southard, New Jersey's famous statesman, of whom 
Clay said he was the greatest orator in Congress. Among his 
playmates at Westtown school were Thomas P. Cope, the great 
shipping merchant of Philadelphia ; Samuel Sharpless, the mer- 
chant, and the Morris boys, of Morris & Tasker. He was one of 
the original subscribers to the Mount Holly Fair, became a mem- 
ber of the ancient Relief Fire Company of Mount Holly in 1832, 
was a director of the BurHngton County Insurance Company at 
Medford for 25 years ; was senior warden of Trinity Episcopal 
church, of which he was one of the founders, and superintended 
the construction of the church building. He was one of a com- 
mittee appointed to take charge of the surplus revenue awarded 
to New Jersey as ofte of the original thirteen States, by the gen- 
eral government during the administration of John Ouincy 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 201 

Adams, and turned over the last of the sums to the county treas- 
urer. He was one of the most persistent workers in overcoming 
the pohtical influences of the Camden and Amboy Railroad, and 
in securing from the Legislature a charter to build the railroad 
from Mount Holly to Philadelphia, and subscribed to $5,000 
worth of the stock of the original scheme. He was one of a com- 
mittee appointed by the Legislature to sell the stock of the con- 
templated road from Camden to Keyport. He was chairman in 
1849 o^ the meeting which formed the first building association 
in this section of the country, and held the office of president for 
a dozen years or more. Up to the time of his death he was a di- 
rector of the Camden and Burlington County Railroad. He was 
one of the founders of the Mount Holly Water Works, for many 
years was its president, and owning the water power himself, 
practically contributed the water supply to the company for many 
years. His memory of local happenings and public events and 
of Burlington county families and individuals, of the State politi- 
cal leaders and distinguished Jerseymen of a half century and 
more ago, with a great number of whom he had intimate political, 
business and social relations, was remarkably clear, and his mind 
was a storehouse of information concerning men and measures 
local and general. — From Mount Holly (N. J.) Mirror.

202 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

344. iii. CHARLES SHREVE, the third child and third son of 
Charles Shreve and Rebecca Pitman Cox, was b. in Mount Holly, 
N. J., Nov. 25th, 1813; m. ist, Corinna Harrison Brashear (b. in 
Jefiferson Co., Ky., Aug. 14th, 1818; d. in Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 
13th, 1850), July 2ist, 1846; 2d, Margaret B. Hackley of Bards- 
town, Ky., in the summer of 1853. He d. in Port Gibson, Miss., 
Aug. 31st, 1878, of yellow fever. 

When about fifteen years of age Charles Shreve was received 
as an apprentice in the well-known firm of John Hart, in the city 
of Philadelphia, and thus qualified himself for the management of 
the intricate and important business of druggist. 

He first came south in October, 1835 ; remaining a few weeks at 
Natchez, he then came on to Port Gibson and entered the drug 
store of Samuel P. Bernard, where he remained as clerk until 
1836, when he went to Grand Gulf, where he continued in busi- 
ness until 1853, when he finally settled in Port Gibson. 

As a man of honor and integrity Mr. Shreve had no superior. 
His fidelity to trust and duty was unswerving. He relied on in- 
dustry, economy and perseverance as the elements of success. 
Himself and family were victims of the yellow fever epidemic 
which raged in the South in the fall of 1878. He was first strick- 
en with the disease. Only a few days after his death his wife — a 
noble Christian character — a model wife and mother, passed into 
the great beyond and two days later their son Charles Shreve, 
Jr., a young man of many virtues and a promising future, joined 
them. Three out of the four members of the family that remain- 
ed at home and were exposed to the disease were swept away in 
the brief space of ten days. 

Mr. Shreve's first marriage was extremely felicitous — his wife 
was intelligent above her sex ; her virtues as wife and hostess, 
amiableness, dignity of manner, with earnest suavity, rendered 
her character lustrous and symmetrically shaped.

Mrs. McHenry was a devout Christian woman and was always 
deeply interested in the welfare of Trinity Church. Mr. McHenry 
was a member of the first vestry and for some years Warden of 
the church. She survived his death twenty-eight years and in 
her advanced life the Christian graces shone radiantly — perfectly 
developed. Subsequently their only surviving child, in mem- 
ory of her parents, presented Trinity Church a handsome lectern, 
said to be the finest in New Jersey, being seven feet high, made 
of bronze, with brass trimmings. The figure is that of an angel 
in bronze standing on a globe also of bronze, the whole resting on 
a beautifully polished brass base. The upper desk part is also 
of brass and rests upon the uplifted hands of the angel above its 
head on which is a suitable inscription. Mrs. McHenry in her 
youth was pronounced by Prince Alurat the handsomest woman 
in the Jerseys.

Rachel Ridgway Ivins' father died when she was six years 
old ; her mother when she was nine. After the death of her 
mother she lived with her cousin, Joshua Wright, at Tren*:on, 
New Jersey, until eighteen years of age. Afterwards lived at 
Hornerstown for two or three years with Richard Ridgway. 



212 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

While living here was baptized and became a member of the 
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. 

In 1842 visited Nauvoo, 111., with one of her cousins. Was at 
Nauvoo when Joseph Smith, the prophet, was martyred. After 
the death of the prophet returned to Hornerstown, New Jersey. 
Leaving there in 1853 she emigrated to Salt Lake Valley with 
her sister Anna and a number of members of the Church re- 
siding at Tom's River, New Jersey. Arrived in Salt Lake Valley 
on the loth day of August, 1853, and has resided there continu- 
ously ever since. Was married as a plural wife to Jedediah M. 
Grant, in November, 1855. • 

Her relatives in the East were quite well to do financially, and 
by renouncing her religion she could have lived in comfort with 
the money which one of her brothers ofifered to settle upon her. 
But she preferred to remain faithful to her chosen religion, and 
reared her only son in poverty and by hard work succeeded in 
giving him some educational opportunities. 

In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints there is 
an organization known as the Female Relief Society. There is 
a general organization embracing the whole Church, and sub- 
divisions embracing districts presided over by local officers. She 
has been the president of the Female Relief Society of the Thir- 
teenth Ecclesiastical Ward in Salt Lake City ever since the date 
of its organization, thirty-three years ago, and has been an act- 
ive Vv'orker in this line all her life. She is looked upon as one of 
the most devoted and faithful members in the Church of Jesus 
Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Is a good public speaker. 

Jedediah Morgan Grant was the son of Joshua and Thalia 
Grant, born in Windsor, Broome County, New York, on the 21st 
day of February, 1816. He became a member of the Church of 
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints by baptism, March 21st, 1833. 
Filled a number of successful preaching missions, principally in 
the Southern States, and was associated with the "Mormon" 
people in Ohio, Missouri and Illinois. He filled a short mission 
to Philadelphia, in the spring of 1847, returning in June in time 
to cross the Plains with the first emigration that followed the 
pioneers to Salt Lake Valley. He was Captain of the Third 
Hundred. Just before reaching Salt Lake Valley, his wife. Caro- 
line Van Dyke, died. He had previously buried a little daughter 
by the wayside. Agreeable to her request his wife's remains were 
brought to Salt Lake Valley for burial. 

In May. 1849. when the State Militia was organized, he was 
elected Brigadier-General of the First Brigade, Nauvoo Legion. 
This was the cavalry cohort. 

In 1852 Daniel H. Wells, who had been Major-General of the 
Legion, became Lieutenant-General and Jedediah M. Grant was 
promoted to the Major-Generalship, which office he held until 



OF THE SHRKVE FAMIIvY. 213 

his death. He was a most efficient officer, courteous, and en- 
ergetic and just. It is said of him that in difficuUies with the 
Indians, he was not only wise and tactful, but as jealous of the 
rights of the red men as he was of the safety of the whites. 

He visited the Eastern States a number of times, after mov- 
ing to Salt Lake Valley, on business and church matters. He 
was the first Mayor of Salt Lake City, which was incorporated 
in January, 1851. He held the office first by appointment of the 
Governor and Legislature, and afterwards by election under the 
City Charter in April of the same year. He was an efficient 
Mayor and energetic, and held the office by continuous election 
as long as he lived. 

He was a member of the Council in the First Legislative As- 
sembly in the territory of Utah, which convened in Salt Lake 
City, September, 1851. 

Was elected in 1852 to the Legislature and chosen speaker of 
the House of Representatives, a position filled by him during 
that and the three subsequent sessions. His quick perception, 
sound practical judgment and high sense of right enabled him 
to render valuable assistance to his fellow law-makers, while at 
the same time he was an excellent presiding officer. 

In 1854 was chosen Second Counselor to President Brigham 
Young in the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of 
Later-Day Saints. He died December ist, 1856, in the forty- 
first year of his age ; a comparatively short life as to time, but 
a long .life if reckoned by its achievements. President Brigham 
Young stated at his funeral : "He has been in the Churcii up- 
wards of twenty-three years, and was a man that would live, 
comparatively speaking, one hundred years in that time." 

His wife Caroline, who died on the way to Salt Lake Valley, 
had two children, both daughters, both of whom are dead. His 
wife, Rosetta Robison, bore him a son and daughter, Jedediah 
Morgan and Henrietta. His wife Susan Noble was the mother 
of Joseph Hyrum and Susan Vilate, who is dead. His wives 
Sarah Ann Thurston, Louisa M. Golay, Marietta Kesler and 
Rachel R. Ivins, each bore him a son, who are named respect- 
ively — George S., Joshua F., Brigham F. and Heber J. George 
S. was accidentally killed while rabbit hunting. 

In a series of letters written by Mayor Grant to the New York 
Herald we learn that his father's paternal grandfather came from 
Scotland, while his later ancestors were all New Englanders of 
the old stock, two of them fighting for independence in the War 
of the Revolution.

214 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

35. i. HEBER JEDDY GRANT, the only child of Rachel 
Ridgway Ivins and Jedediah Morgan Grant, was b. Nov. 22d, 
1856, in Salt Lake City, Utah; m. Lucy Stringham in George- 
town, Utah, Nov. ist, 1877; Hulda Augusta Winters, May 26th, 
1884; Emily Harris Wells, May 27th, 1884; Lucy Stringham (d. 
Jan. 3d, 1893). He resides in Salt Lake City. 

Heber Jeddy Grant resided in Salt Lake City until Oct., 
1880; then moved to Tooele City in an adjoining county. Re- 
sided there for two years, then returned to Salt Lake City and 
resided continuously until the present time. Attended private 
schools and the University of Deseret, until fifteen years of age ; 
then entered an insurance office. Worked as insurance clerk 
and in a bank until twenty years of age, and then went into the 
fire insurance business for himself. Mr. Grant is to-day presi- 
dent of the Home Fire Insurance Co. of Utah, The State Bank 
of Utah, The Co-operative Wagon & Machine Co., and has held 
the ofifices of president from the date that these companies were 
incorporated. These companies each have a cash capital of a 
quarter of a million dollars. 

Served one term in the Territorial Legislature, as a member 
of the Council. Was a member of the City Council of Salt Lake 
City for several years ; elected to both of these ofifices. Is a 
member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. 
While in Tooele County, was the president of the Ecclesiastical 
Subdivision of the Church for Tooele County. After returning 
from Tooele to Salt Lake City, was made one of the Quorum 
of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- 
Day Saints. This Church is presided over by a presidency of 
three, the next in authority being the Quorum of the Twelve 
Apostles. Politically is a Democrat. 

His father died when he was a child nine days old. His 
mother had a very hard struggle to make a livelihood and to 
give her son some advantages of education in his youth. 

The subject of this sketch was raised in poverty, so to speak. 
In his youth knew many adverse circumstances. Is to-day one 
of the leading officials of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- 
Day Saints, and the president of three successful corporations, 
enumerated above ; also the president of the Salt Lake Dramatic 
Association, proprietors of the finest threater in Salt Lake City, 
erected by the late Brigham Young. In his youth was too poor 
to afiford the luxury of a twenty-five cent ticket, price of ad- 
mission to the third gallery in the Salt Lake Theater, and he 
used to carry water up three flights of stairs to gain admission. 
As president of the theater company he has the privilege of oc- 
cupying a box free of charge. 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 215 

The place of his birth was on Main Street. The old Grant 
Homestead is now occupied by the large store of the Zion's 
Co-operative Mercantile Institution, an institution with a capital 
of over one million, and has a business of over three million 
dollars a year. 

Mr. Grant is a director and chairman of the executive com- 
mittee of this institution.

Caleb Shreve was a member of the New Jersey Assembly in 
1776 and 1777, also a member of the assembly meeting at 
Trenton, 1778 and 1779, and 1783 and 1784. Sept. 14th, 1777, 
he and eight others were appointed a committee to join with 
a committee of council to district the State and appoint persons 
to recruit men for the Continental service (Votes and Proceed- 
ings of the General Assembly of New Jersey, Vol, V.) During 
the Revolutionary War he held two offices under the United 
States Government. While in the service he was pursued by 
Mr. Bacon, the British officer. Each held his loaded musket 
aimed at the other — both muskets snapped — they then turned 
away and both of their firearms fired off. It was he that the same 
Mr. Bacon shot at when the ball entered the wall of Crosswit 
Meeting House in New Jersey, the ball remaining there many 
years.

Benjamin Shreve was a member of Friends' Meeting and was 
disowned by them for having taken part in the war of the Revo- 
lution (in 1782 and 1783), consequently he was not married by 
their ceremony, but by a minister. In this connection the follow- 
ing is of interest, showing the course of procedure of the society 
under such circumstances : 

The Friends appointed report they visited Benjamin Shreve 
in respect to his Bearing Arms in a Military way, he informed 
them he expected to continue therein, therefore this Meeting dis- 
owns him, the said Benjamin Shreve, from being a Member of 
our Religious Society until he becomes sensible of his Deviation 
and condemns the same as Discipline directs. William Satter- 
thwaite and Barzillai Furman are appointed to give him a Copy 
of this Minute, inform him of his right of Appeal, and report to 
next Meeting. 

Extracted from the Minutes of a Monthly Meeting of Friends 
held at Chesterfield, the 6th of the 2d. Mo. 1783. 

By SAMUEL WRIGHT, Clerk. 

It is said he would never acknowledge that he had done wrong 
in bearing arms, and was never again a member of the society. 

COPY OF HIS MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE. 

This may certify to all whom it may concern that Benjamin 
Shreve and Rebecca Lippincott were legally joined together in 
the Holy Banns of Matrimony on April the thirteenth, one thou-

242 THE GKNEAI^OGY AND HISTORY 

S. H. Shreve was born at Trenton, N. J., Aug. 2d, 1829, his 
ancestors being among the colonial proprietors of New Jersey. 
He graduated from Princeton in 1848 and from the Harvard 
Law School two years later. He practiced law at Green Bay, 
Wis., and subsequently at Chicago until about 1853, when he 
returned east to prepare himself for the engineering profession, 
toward which he was attracted by a love of mathematics. His 
best work was done as an engineer, and his reputation achieved 
as such. 

He was engaged early in his career as an engineer in defining 
the complicated boundary lines under old colonial deeds in Ocean 
County, N. J., and made careful surveys for the purpose. Be- 
tween i860 and 1863 he was engaged as engineer on the South- 
ern Railroad of New Jersey and its branches, and was connected 
later with other surface railways. He was interested in the ele- 
vated railway projects in New York City from their inception 
in 1866, but took no active part until he aided the development 
of the Gilbert Elevated Railway just before it became the Metro- 
politan Elevated Railway. 

He was retained as consulting engineer by one of the first 
rapid transit commissions in New York, and afterward by the 
Metropohtan Railroad. He became identified with the design 
and construction of the Sixth Avenue line and the structures on 
the east and west side of the city, built for the joint use of the 
New York and the Metropolitan Elevated Railways. At this 
time, the most active in elevated railway construction, Mr. 
Shreve was recognized as a leader in this class of engineering 
work, and in 1881 was appointed chief engineer of the Brooklyn 
Elevated Railroad, a position he held to the time of his death, 
Nov. 27th, 1884. All the essential features of the first Brooklyn 
elevated road were designed by him, and the most important 
portion of the line had been completed before he died. 

In 1873 he published a work on the strength of bridges and 
roofs, which was translated into French. It was one of the 
first to succeed the pioneer work of Squire Whipple, printed in 
1847, ^^d discussed only the simple forms of trusses. It was to 
have been followed by another volume on the cantilever and the 
more complicated trusses, which was partly written at the time 
of his death. 

The mathematical attainments of Mr. Shreve were notable, but 
in his published writings he has made use of onlv algebraic 
processes. In order to avoid the use of the calculus in problems 
where the maximum or minimum values of a function have to be 
determined, the equation containing only the first or second 
powers of the independent variable, he devised a process which 
he explained in an article in Van Nostrand's Engineering Maga- 



OF the; shreve famii^y. 243 

zine, Vol. 15, page 530. While recognizing the utility and con- 
venience of graphics, he preferred algebraic methods of computa- 
tion, in which he became so expert, that, having written an equa- 
tion of the second degree, he effected the transformations men- 
tally, and wrote down the values of the variable after a brief 
pause. He served as Associate Editor of the 1878 edition of 
"Johnson's Encyclopedia." Mr. Shreve became a member of 
the American Society of Civil Engineers, May 19th, 
1869. In volumes 3 and 4 of Transactions will be found two 
discussions of some length written by him on the subject of arch 
trusses. — From the Proceedings of the American Society of 
Civil Engineers, April, 1896. 

For several years preceding his death Mr. Shreve, as a recrea- 
tion, had devoted much time in collecting genealogical data of 
the Shreve family. He was the first to take an interest in the 
subject and was generous in distributing his knowledge by per- 
sonal letters and published articles. Much of his early researches 
are embodied in this volume.

Mrs. Elizabeth Donaldson was intellectually highly gifted, her 
quick wit and brilliant conversation won for her many admirers, 
the brightest men and women of the day. The poet Words- 
worth, though much older than she, was a warm personal friend 
of hers. She visited him at his own country home. After she 
had passed her eighty-fifth birthday, she left England, where 
she had resided most of her life, and crossing the "Atlantic, passed 
the remainder of her years in America. Until the close of her 
long and unusually eventful career of nearly ninety years she re-

Mrs. Lewis was a very bright woman and had traveled ex-

had her'health ever been good she would undoubtedly have made 
more than a local reputation by her writings in prose and verse. 
She contributed stories to the "Youth's Companion," "Harper's 
Young People," etc., and always met with encouragement on that 

line.

Thomas Shreve and Ann Hopkins were prominent members 
of the Society of Friends, the latter of whom, was nearly related 
to John Hopkins, who gave to Baltimore the grand university 
that bears his name. 

The burning of Washington by the British and the stagnation 
of business resulting from the war of 1812 caused a failure in 
his calico mills there, and Thomas H. Shreve came to Cincin- 
nati, hoping to better his financial condition. Here he purchased 
an interest in the "Cincinnati Mirror," which he had the credit of 
greatly improving. In 1838 he moved to Louisville and became 



OF the; shrkve famiIvY. 261 

a member of the extensive wholesale dry goods house of Joshua 
B. Bowles & Company. When the firm sold out, he accepted an 
editorial chair in the office of the old "Louisville Journal," and 
was for many years an able coadjutor of George D. Prentice, 
and finally did most of the heavier work in "leaders" in that in- 
fluential paper. Mr. Shreve's editorials were copied throughout 
the Union. He warmly advocated Henry Clay for the presi- 
dency, and for a brilliant series of his papers in this advocacy 
admirers of Mr. Clay presented Mr. Prentice a handsome silver 
service, thinking him the author. When personal friends in- 
sisted that Mr. Shreve should let it be known that he was the 
author of the articles, he modestly insisted that as Mr. Prentice 
was senior editor, he had to bear all the censure and hence was 
entitled to all the honor given the Journal's articles. Mr. Shreve 
was naturally an essayist. He wrote "Drayton, a Story of Amer- 
ican Life," a work eulogized by the press. He also wrote several 
poems of great merit and excelled as an artist of the easel and 
brush. His wife was a talented lady, and from the union were 
three daughters, all talented in various ways, but all of whom died 
young, although Mrs. Shreve spent a fortune in quest of their 
health, which probably lengthened their lives, but one by one 
the fond mother lived to see them pass away.

Yoeman — married May 8th, 1756, Anna Ivins, of Springfield, 
Burlington Co., New Jersey. 

Bondsman — Moses Ivins, of Springfield, Burlington Co., N. 
J., Yeoman. 

Witnesses — Gab Bland. Sam'l Peart. 

The MiHtary List "OfBcial Register of the Officers and Men 
of New Jersey in the Revolutionary War" contains the entry : 

William Shreve, ist Maj : First Reg Burlington Sept. 28 
1776 Lieut. Col. ditto March 15 1777 Col ditto April 18 1778. 

Little has been ascertained of Col. William Shreve's career 
before his services during the Revolutionary War. After that 
period he was a man of business, and owned at one time vessels 
on the sea. 

His marriage occurred when he was nineteen years of age, and 
his oldest child was Jeremiah Warder, who also married young, 
in 1775, or when eighteen years of age. It is mentioned among 
descendants that at one time father and son courted the same 
girl and in the conquest for her hand the son came out victorious. 
Col. William Shreve married the second time Mrs. Ann Reck- 
less, widow of Joseph Reckless and daughter of Joseph and 
Hannah Woodard; this was in 1779. It appears that during his 
military career he was a widower. 

While on duty in the army the British plundered, burned and 
destroyed his property, consisting of house, barn and outhouses

with contents, amounting in value to £1,355.15. The property 
was located in Burlington County, and its destruction occurred 
June 23d, 1778. 

After the close of the war he w^as shopkeeper in Mansfield, but 
in 1782 the business proved disastrous, and on Nov. 2d of that 
year he and his wife assigned "all their real and personal estate 
to Jeremiah Warder, Jr., Mordecai Lewis and Samuel Coates, 
merchants of Philadelphia, in trust for his creditors, he being 
by misfortune and losses in trade rendered incapable to pay the 
full amount of his indebtedness, but nevertheless is desirous as 
far as his power to satisfy his creditors, for 5 shillings he and 
his wife Ann convey to above merchants everything, to go to his 
creditors, and if anything is left over, to be for his and his wife's 
use." 

Dec. I2th, 1789, these same men convey the above premises to 
Moses Ivins for divers sums and £2,537. 

He and his wife, with others, in 1788, crossed the Alleghaney 
Mountains ; his brother. Col. Israel, then emigrating to his future 
home in Fayette County, Pa., where the son of the latter (Capt. 
John Shreve) had preceded two years before. There is no rec- 
ord of his permanent residence there, or of his investing in 
property in that vicinity. 

He probably resumed business In Burlington County, acquir- 
ing quite a competency before death. Any real estate he might 
have possessed was disposed of before the making of his will, 
which was dated May first, 1810, and devised only personal prop- 
erty amounting to $2,043.17, of which $1,500 were in bonds. 

Mrs. Maria M. Whitmore, of Ottawa, 111., was the oldest grand 
daughter of Anna Shreve and Nathan Shumard. She well re- 
members many incidents related to her by her grandmother, 
who was the daughter of Col. William Shreve. July, 1896, she 
writes as follows : 

My mother has told me that after her mother's — Anna Shreve 
— marriage to Nathan Shumard, that they moved on Olbanion 
Creek, where their surroundings were not very good, and they 
soon after moved, buying a farm on Stone Lick, in Clermont 
Co., O., on which there was a fine mill site. He soon had a small 
mill in operation. As his boys grew up, the family got along very 
well, as well as their neighbors — fellow pioneers. This mill and 
farm is still in possession of his descendants. My grandmother 
was loved by her many friends and neighbors and all her children 
and grand children that knew her rise up and call her blessed. 
After I was grown my grandfather remarked how good she had 
always been to him and the children. After the custom of the 
Quakers she would have no nicknames, all the children must be 
called by their full names. Although so young, I can well re- 
member her kindness to me. Her character seemed to be made up 
of love and kindness to all with whom she was in contact. Her 



264 the; ge;neai,ogy and history 

last sickness was short. She was in usual health in the morning, 
but died at four o'clock in the afternoon. The funeral was 
preached at the house, and she was laid to rest on a high hill 
selected for the family burying ground, only a short distance from 
the house. As a child I remember the men carrying her up the 
hill and we all following, and on our return the prevailing sad- 
ness, knowing we had lost our best and dearest one. 

I was six years of age when grandmother died, but remember 
her very well, and often heard her speak of her brothers in Jer- 
sey. I do not remember her speaking of her sisters. During 
the late war, when visiting a friend in North Vernon, Ind., I met 
an elderly gentleman who had come from Monmouth Co., N. J. 
On ascertaining I was of Shreve descent, he was much inter- 
ested, claiming to have known my grandparents before their 
marriage. He said Anna's father thought a great deal of Nathan, 
but thought he was too easy and v/ould not take care of prop- 
erty, for he said they were very rich, consequenty he was not 
very willing for them to marry. He said her father gave themi 
a mill, for Nathan was a miller and fixed them with fine property. 
I had often heard this from my mother, who said they had such 
a nice place and she wished her father had stayed in Jersey. 
Grandfather and mother wanted a deed, but her father did not 
think best, so they moved to Ohio with his brother, Samuel Shu- 
mard. This gentleman, whose name I cannot recall, had stayed 
in Monmouth Co. with a George Shreve, who, he said, was an 
own cousin of my mothers. Mother related two incidents I well 
remember — one was how she was cured of the ague. After she 
had had it a long time, grandfather said to his wife : "Suppose 
we have Rebecca to tie the ague to a tree." He was sure it 
would cure her. So they procured a blue yarn string and all 
three started across the field to the timber. Mother could hardly 
walk ; she was shaking so hard. She tried to climb the fence, but 
fell and cried. She did not believe it would do any good, but 
they again urged her. Soon they came to the timber and her 
grandfather tied the string around a tree and told my mother to 
take hold of the end and go around the tree, repeating: "Fever 
and Ague, you have tormented me, and now I'll tie you to this 
tree," until the string was all wound up. Then grandfather said : 
"This tree shall never be cut down." Mother said she never had 
any more of the ague while they lived in Jersey. It seems foolish 
and silly, but it was a superstition of those days, I suppose. 
Mother used to talk so much about Jersey. The other incident 
was when the Redcoats came up the street in Monmouth. I do 
not know whether before or after the battle. Mother said she 
saw them coming and hollowed. They looked so pretty, their 
brass buttons glistening in the sunlight, but directly her grand- 
father came running and said they were after him, and asking,

"Where shall I go?" some replied, "In the house and hide." He 
said : "No ; they will burn the house." "Then go to the barn." 
Pie said : "They are bound to have me and will burn the barn." 
So he retreated to a thicket and hid. They burned the house and 
barn. He was near, and the fire so hot he could hardly bear it. 
The British hunted everywhere for him, as they thought, without 
finding him. They remounted their horses and left. The family 
Vv'cre greatly frightened, and only relieved when they found her 
grandfather all right. Mother has told me that her great grand- 
father Shreve had ships sailing on the sea.

8. REBEKAH SHREVE, the only child of Jeremiah Warder 
Shreve and Sarah Beck, was b. in New Jersey (probably Prince- 
ton) ; m. John Bailey, in Kentucky. He was the son of James 
and Anna Bailey, b. near Lexington, Va., in 1762, and d. at Cen- 
terville, O., May loth, 1842. She d. in Centerville, O., June 8th, 
1864. 

John Bailey was a native of Rockbridge Co., Va., and was born 
in 1762. The place of their marriage is not positively known. 

They settled in Centerville, eight miles from Dayton, O. At 
that time the place was a wilderness occupied by many Indians. 
Mr. Bailey built a little cabin of rough logs, in which they dwelt 
during the summer in a most primitive manner, and not until 
fall was it "chinked and daubed." Their first bed was construct- 
ed by boring holes in one of the logs on a side wall in which 
long pins were driven, the ends resting on forks, on these pins 
or poles, clap boards were laid and on the boards a bed tick, 



266 THE ge;neai,ogy and history 

filled with dried leaves and grass was placed. This for a time was 
their downy couch until better could be procured. In a few years 
Mr. Bailey built a more pretentious dwelling of hewn logs, which 
was quite necessary to accommodate their rapidly increasing 
family. At one time the Indians showed signs of hostilities. The 
settlers built a block house and to this place of safety Mr. Bailey 
took his family. Only a slight skirmish ensued, which resulted 
in but little damage. When General Harrison, with part of his 
army, was stationed just across the road from them, their head- 
quarters being in an old stone church, the General and two offi- 
cers were at times guests of Mr. and Mrs. Bailey. A relative 
of General Harrison was thrown from a stage and seriously in- 
jured. The accident occurred not far from the home of Mr. 
Bailey, to which the injured man was taken and cared for for 
two or three weeks. When he had sufficiently recovered, he was 
carried to Mr. Bailey's carriage, placed on a bed and taken 
by Mr. Bailey and his daughter Mahlah to Dayton, where he was 
removed to a canal boat and taken to Cincinnati.

Wm. Stanley Westerman was the son of Thomas Wester- 
man and Mary Stanley, and grand son of Wm. Stanley, of Eng- 
land. He was born in New Jersey soon after his parents came to 
this country, and with his parents emigrated to Ohio, settling 
at Woodburn, near Dayton. After marriage they settled in Day- 
ton and a year later built themselves a home on E. 3d Street. 
The house still stands, and is owned by their daughter. Mrs. 
Westerman is still hale and hearty, barring a lameness, caused 
by a severe fall, and is a prominent resident of that beautiful city. 
Mr. Westerman was associated with many of Dayton's early en- 
terprises. He was a man of strong opinions and had the courage 
of his convictions, posesssing independence of thought and ac- 
tion. This was evidenced by his style of dress, always wearing 
a dark blue broadcloth coat and vest cut in full dress pattern, 
and trimmed in brass buttons.

returning in 1884 to Staten Island, where they had built a hand-

some home at 20 Central Avenue, New Brighton. They pass 
but little time in it, traveling most of the time for health and 
pleasure. Mrs. Edgar is a daughter of the Revolution. Mr. Ed- 
gar was born on Staten Island, and was the son of Dr. David A. 
Edgar, many years president of the Richmond Medical Society. 
From boyhood up Mr. Edgar was engaged in the banking busi- 
ness. At the time he was Cashier he was the youngest man in 
New York City filling that position. He was First Cashier of 
Lincoln Bank on 426. Street, and upon him devolved much of 
the responsibility when starting and organizing that institution. 
For many years he was an active member of New York's famous 
Seventh Regiment, and is now a member of the veteran society.

3. RICHARD SHREVE, probably the third child of Col. 
William Shreve and Anna Ivins, was b. Sept. 25th, 1760, in 
Burlington County, N. J. ; m. Margaret Newbold, of Philadel- 
phia, Pa., in 1783. She was b. May 26th, 1766, and d. Sept. loth, 
1852. He d. in Bloomfield Township, Crawford Co., Pa., Sept. 
I2th, 1822. 

Richard Shreve was "Captain troop, light horse, Burlington, 
Aug. 7th, 1782." in the Revolutionary War. Soon after its close 
he married, and at once moved to Fayette County, Pa., a lo- 
cality that at the time attracted many emigrants from Burling- 
ton County, N. J. He remained in Fayette County until the 
latter part of 1798, when he emigrated to Bloomfield, Penna. — 

himself and Mr. Bloomfield being the first settlers of 

prominence in the locality — both emigrating from Fayette Coun- 
ty. Richard Shreve obtained employment in a grist mill ("Miles 
Mill") where now is located Union City. This materially aided in 
providing for his family, then numbering eight children, the eld- 
est of whom was but fourteen years of age. The surrounding 
country was a wilderness without roads, schools or churches, 
the settlers finding their way from place to place by blazing the 
trees. Their rountine of daily life was that of the sturdy pioneer 
of that period continually beset with perils and dangers, while 
privations and physical sufferings were great. . Fish and wild 
game were plentiful and afforded the principle food, while they 
felled the forests and burned the underbrush. As the soil was 
brought to a state of cultivation, the hard conditions were amel- 
iorated, and better homes and surroundings in a few years pre- 
vailed. 

Margaret Newbold was a daughter of Thomas Newbold, of 
New Jersey, and was related to the Newbolds in England that 
manufactured cutlery. Richard Shreve had resided at Perryopo- 
lis before emigrating to Bloomfield. During Commodore Per- 
ry's campaign his sons William, Barzillai and Israel took part in 
guarding the fort at Lake Erie.

Barzillai Shreve was engaged principally in sawing lumber, 
owning a saw mill and small farm on Oil Creek, two and one- 
half .miles west of Centerville, Crawford Co., Pa. He possessed 
a remarkably strong voice, which could be heard one mile with 
little effort on his part. He was a good man. esteemed by all 
that knew him, possessing many traits like his elder brother, 
William. 

Barzillai Shreve, at the age of thirteen, with his parents, moved 
from Fayette Co., Pa., to Bloomfield, Pa., where the family en- 
dured all the hardships of the early pioneers in conquering the 



288 THE GENEAI^OGY AND HISTORY 

forests. Many adventures were experienced, one of which is 
recalled. 

After Barzillai had arrived at manhood, strong and athletic, 
he had cleared a small tract of land near his father's, and sown 
it with rye, of which the bears were fond. One morning he took 
his club, remarking he would go out and drive the bears from his 
grain. Accompanied by his dog, they found a bear and two cubs 
in possession. The dog attacked, but soon was vanquished, re- 
turning to its master. The bear pursued and with open mouth 
attacked them. The first impulse was to flee, but the bear was 
too near, so the next resource was to climb a small tree or sap- 
ling near by, thinking the animal could not follow. However, 
it followed hand over hand, as himself had done. The sapling 
could not support their combined weight and bent over, permit- 
ting him to strike the ground with one foot and dislodging the 
bear when the tree again raised up, supporting his weight. His 
cries for help in the meantime brought assistance from a hunter, 
who rescued him and captured a cub, while the other foragers 
escaped. This is but one of the many adventures occurring in 
those times.

Rev. Samuel H. Whitmore was born in Clermont Co., O., Dec. 
8, 1821 ; died, June 5, 1891. He was converted Feb. 22d, 1843, 
and soon after his conversion joined the Church. He was li- 
censed to exhort soon after uniting with the Church, and in 
185 1 received hcense to preach. He was abundant in labors 
from the beginning of his Christian life ; and the first year, after 
receiving license to preach, he preached fifty-two sermons. He 
was ordained deacon by Bishop Morris, Sept. 24th, 1865, and 
elder by Bishop Simpson, Sept. 19th, 1869. In 1865 he was ap- 
pointed to Sugar Creek Circuit, Southeast Indiana Conference, 
serving that charge one year. He served St. Louis Circuit one

Beach, of the Southeast Indiana Conference. He was an earnest

and instructive preacher. He was often eloquent, with that elo- 
quence born of deep conviction of the truth. With him the gos- 
pel was the power of God unto salvation, and he so declared it 
with much eiTect to others. In his relations to men he was re- 
served, but frank ; an open, honest soul, and a true friend. He 
loved the Church, and desired to attend the services of the 
Lord's house, having but recently moved from the country to 
Moore's Hill, that he might have a better opportunity to do so. 
He often said during his illness that he desired to depart and be 
with Christ. Death was a peaceful falling to sleep in the blessed 
hope of the Gospel. 

Oliver Sheridan Whitmore, at the age of fourteen years, en- 
listed in Company B, 6th Reg. Indiana Vols. His Captain 
(afterward Colonel), Hagerman Trip, expected to make him a 
fifer, as he was so young, but he objected, saying, "they took me 
in to shoot, and I am going to shoot." His first experience was 
at Shiloh, and later he was in thirteen hard-fought battles and 
skirmishes, including Corinth, Stone River, Chattanooga, Chick- 
amauga. At Mission Ridge, half way up the hill, he was wound- 
ed, but as no bones were broken, he kept on fighting. He was 
mustered out Sept. 22d, 1864 (his time expiring at Atlanta). He 
only remained home five weeks, when he again enlisted until the 
war was over. He never had a furlough, and was in every en- 
gagement his regiment was in. After his discharge he learned 
the printing business, working at Indianapolis and Chicago. He 
died of small-pox at the early age of twenty-six.

Benjamin Shreve and Rebecca French, was b. Dec. 24th, 1739, in 
Burlington Co., N. J.; m. ist, Grace Curtis, Feb. 27th, 1760, by 
Friends' ceremony in Burlington Co., N. J. She d. Dec. 12th, 
1 771 ; 2d, Mary Cokely, dau. of Cornelius and Johanna Cokely,

in Amity Tp., Berks Co., Pa. He d. Dec. 14th, 1799, in Fayette 
Co., Pa. 

Israel Shreve was thirty-six years of age when the battle of 
Bunker Hill occurred and at the time was living on the "Frank- 
lin Park Farm" in Rancocas, Burlington County, New Jersey, 
and as far as known his only occupation was farming. He was 
evidently a man of influence and integrity and had acquired a 
sufiicient knowledge of law to occupy the office of justice, for 
which he was commissioned in Gloucester County, February 
28th, 1775, and in Burlington County, Nov. 30th, 1781. Soon 
after the engagement at Bunker Hill the Provincial Congress or- 
dered four regiments to be raised from New Jersey. Although 
Quaker blood coursed through his veins, Israel Shreve promptly 
responded and was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of the second 
battalion New Jersey troops November 8th, 1775, and upon the 
reorganization of the "Jersey Line" November 28th, 1776, he 
was made Colonel of the Second Regiment, in which capacity he 
served until the end of the war. He was regularly commissioned 
"Colonel of the Second Battalion of Troops raising in the State 
of New Jersey" January ist, 1777, and as "Colonel of the Sec- 
ond New Jersey Regiment to take rank as such from the ist 
day of January A. D. 1777" on March 12th, 1779. His regiment 
was a part of Maxwell's Brigade and was with Washington in 
many of the most important battles of the Revolutionary War. 
The battalion which he commanded won laurels in many bloody 
encounters. 



OF THE SHREVE FAMII^Y. 345 

His son John, then a lad of only thirteen years, took an active 
part in the war much of the time in service with his father, in 
the latter part of his life he made a record of his services, wherein 
is found the best account of Colonel Israel Shreve's military 
career. 

On the morning of July nth, 1777, Col. Shreve's battalion 
opened the engagement at Brandywine, in which battle two 
horses were shot from under him and he was wounded. John 
Shreve took charge of his father and nursed him until he re- 
covered and joined his regiment. They marched to German- 
town, where, after skirmishing with the enemy, they formed the 
left wing and reserve of Washington's army in the battle of Ger- 
mantown, Oct. 4th, 1777. The winter of 1777 and 1778 was passed 
in sufifering and gloom at Valley Forge. A detachment of 
Shreve's Gloucester troops was encamped at Newark, New Jer- 
sey, and in May, 1779, the brigade took part in General Sulli- 
van's expedition up the Susquehanna Valley to punish the 
Seneca Indians for their massacres. 

During the march of the British through New Jersey they 
passed near his plantation, about one mile from Mt. Pleasant, 
and because he was an American officer they burned his resi- 
dence and destroyed his crops. 

In 1 78 1 Colonel Shreve, then weighing three hundred and 
twenty pounds, was unable to get a horse that could carry his 
weight faster than a walk and consequently he retired from the 
army on half pay. The State records of New Jersey state that 
he was discharged at the close of the war. 

When the war closed emigration to the west from the coast 
States was large. Colonel Israel Shreve in 1788 moved from 
New Jersey to Fayette County, Pennsylvania, where his son 
John with his family had preceded him in 1787. There he pur- 
chased from General Washington the first tract surveyed by the 
latter in 1748, and still known as "Washington Bottom." The 
purchase included the dwelling and the slaves of the partner of 
Washington. The house became Col. Shreve's dwelling, and but 
a few years ago was still standing. He engaged in farming until 
his death, which occurred during the same night Washington 
died. It is said that the last words of Colonel Shreve were: 
"Vv^ashington ! O, Washington!" — their spirits passing to the 
great beyond about the same hour.

The following interesting letter from a most remarkable man, 
we are permitted to publish in the "Mirror." It throws much 
light upon an eventful period of our country's history, and as 
the author is a Jersey man, whose relatives are among the most 
worthy citizens of Burlington county, we have no doubt it will 
prove very acceptable to our readers. Previous to the Revolu- 
tion he lived with his father, on the "Franklin Park Farm," in 
Rancocas. In 1786 he married a sister of Benjamin E. Ridgway, 
an old resident of that vicinity. 

The writer says : "I am this day ninety-one years old — I write 
this without spectacles." 

The original is plainly and well-writteh — and shows but little 
of the tremulousness of age. 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 347 

Near Salem, Ohio, 
4th month (April) 8th, 1853. 

(A SHORT ACCOUNT OF MY LIFE.) 

S. A. D. Dear Niece : 

I was born on the 8th day of the 4th month (April), in the 
year 1762, in Burlington Co., New Jersey. My mother died 
when I was about nine years old. My father married again in 
about three years after. In the year 1775 the war of the Revolu- 
tion commenced. 

Soon after the battle of Bunker Hill, the Provincial Congress 
ordered four regiments to be raised in New Jersey to serve one 
year. My father thought it was his duty to assist in liberating 
his country from British tyranny and he was appointed Lieuten- 
ant-Colonel of the second regiment, which was raised and 
equipped and marched in February, 1776, for Canada. 

My father thought it was not proper to leave me with a step- 
mother, and took me with him in the army. I was appointed 
an ensign in the regiment the 15th of July, and returned to 
Philadelphia and went to school to fit me better for the next 
campaign. When the regiment was discharged in December, 
a new regiment was ordered to be raised. l\Iy father was ap- 
pointed Colonel, and I was appointed First Ensign in the regi- 
ment. We lost a Captain killed in the battle at the Short Hills 
in New Jersey, in the month of June. I was promoted to the 
rank of Lieutenant the first of July. My father was wounded in 
the battle of Brandywine, the nth of September, 1777. I went 
with him through Philadelphia to New Jersey — then took him 
to the town of ReacUng, in Pennsylvania, when the British en- 
tered Philadelphia — ancl I joined the regiment at White Marsh. 
Shortly after we went into winter quarters by building huts at 
Valley Forge, where we suffered for want of provisions and 
clothes. After a partial supply of the latter, my father was or- 
dered with his regiment to cross the river Delaware and take 
a stand at the town of Haddonfield, seven miles from Philadel- 
phia, to watch the motions of the enemy. In March, 1778, Gen- 
eral Washington thought they were preparing to make their 
escape through New Jersey to New York. When the British 
were moving their army over the river, General Maxwell was 
ordered with the other two regiments (the first and third) to join 
the second; and joined us at Mount Holly. When the enemy 
evacuated the city and crossed over the river, Washington moved 
the army and crossed the Delaware ^t Corell's ancl Howell's fer- 
ries above Trenton. I was ordered,' with a guard, to take the 
baggage of the brigade to the northeast of Trenton, and stay 
there tUl the enemy passed, and our army approached the enemy 



348 THK GENHALOGY AND HISTORY 

which they met at Monmouth Court House. I followed our 
army and was at English Town, three miles from the battle 
ground. 

The day after, when the enemy had moved off in the night and 
left their dead and most of their wounded, I joined the brigade 
with the baggage; this was in June, 1778. The enemy made 
their escape to Sandy Hook and New York. 

Our brigade was ordered on the lines at Elizabeth Town and 
Newark, where we remained through the winter following. We 
had many skirmishes and engagements with the British and 
Tories that winter and spring. They came out with eight or 
nine thousand men and thirty wagons in June, 1779, intending 
to take our stores of provisions at Morris Town. We stopped 
them at the town of Springfield. The people said when they 
returned, the thirty wagons were full of dead and wounded. In 
September of that year, our brigade was ordered to join General 
Sullivan, to chastise the Indians and Tories, towards the Susque- 
hanna, and their towns in Genesee county, now west of New 
York. 

On our return we wintered near Morris Town, in New Jersey. 
In 1780 we were on the lines of our former station, near Newark, 
when the British ship brought Major John Andre (the English 
spy) and laid at the head of Tappan Bay, about seven miles below 
West Point Fort. General Greene was ordered with several 
brigades to lay at the little town of Orang-e ; our brigade was 
one. I was ordered to take a stand wath twenty-six men near to 
where the ship lay to watch her motions. While there I saw Gen- 
eral Arnold, the traitor, go on board the ship when he made Iiis 
escape — and saw Major Andre, the spy, hung at Orange Town. 

In the year 1781, my father being very fleshy, weighing three 
hundred and twenty pounds, he could not get a horse that could 
carry his weight faster than a walk, and he retired from the army 
on half pay. We then had but little property, except our public 
securities, which could not be turned into money. We thought 
it best for me to leave the army also, and help to support his 
family. That year ended the war. 

I stayed and assisted the family until the year 1786. Then I 
was married and remained in New Jersey until the fall of 1787, 
then removed with my wife and one child to the west side of 
the Alleghany Mountains, and purchased 100 acres of land, with 
but two or three acres cleared, and a small cabin without a nail 
or any sawed board, on Little Red Stone Creek, a branch of the 
Monongahela river, about thirty-three miles south of Pittsburg, 
where I remained thirty-eight or forty years and raised a family 
of nine children. I cleared about sixty acres of the land, mostly 
with my own hands. I served the township a great part of the 
time in all the public offices. A county commissioner three

years — five different times a commissioner for laying graded 
roads — and times in the State Legislature. 

I went once to the Falls of Ohio and returned by the wilder- 
ness through part of Tennessee, and part of Virginia. I went 
three times with flour down the rivers Monongahela, Ohio and 
Mississippi, to New Orleans, and took flour from New Orleans to 
the West Indies, one time to Havana, in the Island of Cuba; one 
time to Kingston in the Island of Jamaica. Took sugar from 
Cuba and rum from Jamaica to New York and paid six thousand 
seven hundred dollars duty to the United States on the sugar 
and rum. 

I was concerned with a company in a manufactory, after the 
close of the last war with England, and lost the most of my sav- 
ings from my fifty years' toil. I surveyed land occasionally for 
more than thirty years. I had the rheumatism in my limbs, which 
prevented me from following the compass, and I moved to the 
State of Ohio, where I have remained with my children about 
twenty-seven years. Congress acknowledged to be indebted to 
services rendered to the United States and I am now receiving an 
annuity which enables me to provide a comfortable living in mv 
old and declining age. JOHN SHREVE.

Israel Shreve, when his father's business ended in disaster in 
Perryopolis, purchased his father's homestead, which he traded 
for one hundred and sixty acres of timber land near Salem, O. 
Sixty acres of this he sold to his brother Benjamin, clearing and 
improving the remainder for his own use. Farming was his life 
occupation.

David Strawn, after his marriage, was employed on his father- 
in-law's farm for fourteen years, when he moved with his family 
into Salem, O. Previously he had purchased one hundred and 
twenty acres of farming land in Jennings Co., Ind., near Vernon, 
which he traded for town property. At the time of his death 
he resided two miles west of Salem. Four years later Mrs. 
Strawn, with her two younger children, moved to the vicinity of 
Sedan, Chautuaqua Co., Kan. Sickness prevailing in their fam- 
ilies, the son and daughter, after two years, returned to Ohio, 
their mother remaining four years longer. During this period 
she lost her home and property by fire. In 1884 she disposed 
of the remainder of her property in Kansas and returned to Sa- 
lem, where she has continued to reside. Mrs. Strawn has sup- 
plied much information for this publication.

Coates, b. Apr. 17th, 1802; d. Mar. 26th, 1897. He d. in White 
Cloud, Kan., Sept. 2d, 1878. 

While Thomas C. Shreve was a boy his father moved from Fa- 
yette County, Pennsylvania, to the Western Reserve in Ohio. 
The son resided some years in Portage County, Ohio, which he 
represented in the Ohio Legislature in the years 1845 ^^^^ 1846, 
subsequently living in Massillon, from which place he came to 
Kansas in May, 1857, locating at White Cloud. He was a grad- 
uate of Jefferson Medical College. Philadelphia, holding high 
rank among his associates and in the institution, and practiced 
through life his profession successfully. Intelligent, social, high- 
minded, courteous and honorable, he seemed like a gentleman 
of the olden time, rarely met in these times. His professional 
services were sought from the very day of his advent into White 
Cloud, and notwithstanding the growing infirmities of age, he 
was called upon and almost forced to go, even to the time of his 
last illness. Although enduring the exposed life of a physician, he 
had taken good care of himself and had lived a virtuous and tem- 
perate life. He was a man of line personal appearance. For 
twenty years he had been a member of the Odd Fellows' Society 
and was buried with the ceremonies of the order. His estimable 
wife survived him nineteen years. She was born at Coatesville, 
Chester County, Pa., and lived nearly ninety-five years. She was 
educated at Friends' school at Weston, Pa. In her Ohio home 
she warmly espoused the cause of temperance and was one of 
the first in the struggle for the legal rights of woman, at the 
time when great heroism was required. She was as well an act- 
ive and effectual laborer for the freedom of the slaves. She and 
her husband soon filled an influential position in their new Kan- 
sas home. Their royal bounty and open hospitality knew no ces- 
sation until the decease of the husband. The last ten years were 
years of retirement, during which her intellect was undimmed 
and her disposition cheerful and serene.

embarked for the gold fields of California. The company went 
overland with an ox train, arriving at Placerville, Cal, on Aug. 
3d, after a journey of four months and three days. Here he was 
employed at his trade, only mining about four months of the 
time. April 5th, 1856, having accumulated considerable means, 
he shipped for New York City by way of Panama and the Gulf of 
Mexico, arriving at his destination April 29th. Two days after he

After marriage he built a comfortable brick house (in 1837). where 
the family resided until 1857. when they moved to near the nat- 
ural road a few miles west of Saint Clairesville. In 1854 he had 
entered a section of land in Mahaska Co., Iowa, and a quarter 
section in Keokuk Co., Iowa. In 1856 he sold his home farm in 
Ohio, buying two hundred and forty acres in the same county 
on which he lived seven years, when he again sold and located 
near Barnesville, O. In 1865 he emigrated to Iowa, purchasing 
a large farm twelve miles north-east of Oskaloosa. After farm- 
ing eight years he purchased property in Coal Creek, Iowa, 
where he continued to reside until his death. He was a member

Mr. Joseph Price, of Salem, Mass., so heartily responded 
with complete data of this branch for publication in the 
Genealogy and History of the Shreve Family that his corre- 
spondence on the subject is here inserted without abridge- 
ment, excepting that the family tabulations are altered to con-

Salem, Mass., Nov. 7th, 1895. 
L. P. Allen, Esq. 

Dear Sir: Your letter of Nov. 26. received. About a dozen 
years since, being confined at home with a broken limb, I be- 
gun to collect family genealogies from the family Bible, etc., and 
have added a little to it from time to time. Four years since 
the French claims were revived and I had a hand in collecting 
data to prove legally that the family of Isaac Shreve were de- 
scendants from Benj. Shreve, of Alexandria, Va. (a partner of 
James Laurason). And while furnishing information to you, I 
am also adding to my own store of family history. I have copied 
the lists of the old families into a book and send the lists or 
sheets to you, viz. : An account of Caleb Shreve and Sarah 
Areson, with an extract from Caleb's will; second, family of 
Benj. Shreve (son of Caleb); third, family of Benjamin (son of 
Benj.) and Hannah Vail ; fourth, a letter from the last Benja- 
min to his son Isaac (worthy of notice and good for any time 
or latitude) ; fifth, family record from the Bible of Isaac Shreve 
of Salem ; sixth, families of Wm. Price (into which Saml. V. 
Shreve and Hannah Shreve married), and of Eben N. Price, 
husband of Hannah Shreve (the last two being my parents). My 
parents had six children, all boys, and there was no death till 
Rufus, the third son, unmarried, aged 24, mate of ship, was lost 
overboard and drowned in the Pacific Ocean. The other five 
were married and had children, and I enclose lists of their fam- 
ilies. There has been no particularly great men or women in 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 391 

this branch of the Shreve family. There have been smart, ac- 
tive business men; seamen, masters and mates of vessels. Benj. 
Shreve's only son, by first wife, is one of our leading physi- 
cians. And Louisa Shreve Osborne's only son is an Episcopal 
clergyman of some repute. But there are no great men or 
events to chronicle. Still, if you desire a little sketch of some 
of the members of the great middle class of humanity, I will 
try and gratify you. My mothers mother was a Very, and I 
have the principal line of that family for six generations back, 
to Bridget Very, born 1600, in Salisbury, England. If you care 
for it, I will give it to you. If there is any information in par- 
ticular that you desire of matters here, let me know and I will 
try and obtain it for you, although I can't promise to be very 
prompt about it. Yours truly, 

JOSEPH PRICE. 
An account of Caleb Shreve and Sarah Areson, with an ex- 
tract from Caleb's will : 

"By (the original) Caleb Shreve's will, dated April 5, 1735, 
it appears that he had then living his wife Sarah and sons 
Thomas, Joshua, Joseph, Caleb, Jonathan and David. These 
sons being spendthrifts and having spent farms, of which he 
had given each one, were cut off by the will. Benjamin, the re- 
maining son, had two-thirds of real estate and two-thirds of per- 
sonal; the widow had one-third of each real and personal, and 
the best room in the house while unmarried. If she married, 
was to have no part in the real estate. Also two daughters. 
Mary Gibbs and Sarah Ogburn, for whom no provision appears 
to have been made. 

"Caleb Shreve came from Rhode Island, or Nantucket, where 
he had followed the whaling business, and settled in 1699 at 
Mount Pleasant, Mansfield township, Burlington county, New 
Jersey, three miles from the Black Horse and six miles from Bor- 
dentown. He married Sarah, daughter of Diedrick, or Derick. 
Areson, of Amsterdam, Holland. They had a son, born June 
9th, 1706, Benjamin Shreve, who probably died -about 1751. Ca- 
leb Shreve came originally from near London, England. He 
bought land at Shrewsbury 1676. He died in 1741-" 

A Sketch of the Family of Benjamin Shreve and the Reason 
Why the Three Surviving Sons Removed to Salem, Mass. 

Benjamin Shreve, grandson of Caleb Shreve and Sarah Are- 
son, was a merchant of Alexandria, Va., and partner of James 
Laurason. Their vessels suffered from the spoliations of French 
and the indemnity being assumed by the United States, was 
partly paid within the present decade. Benjamin married Han- 
nah Vail, by whom he had nine children. Of these, five died 
in infancy : one, a daughter, lived to the age of seventeen years, 



392 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

and three survived to manhood. These three were named 
Isaac, Benjamin and Samuel Butcher. Their mother died when 
they were six, four and two years old, respectively. Their 
father, within two years, married Susannah Wood and had by 
her one son (John). 

Alexandria was then a prominent port for the exportation 
of flour and Salem, Mass., was at the same time distinguished 
for the tanning of leather with hemlock bark. The interchange 
of these two articles led to the acquaintance of Benjamin 
Shreve with Capt. Samuel Very, of Salem, and in 1794 Mr. 
Shreve sent his son Isaac, then a lad of fifteen years, to Salem, 
in the care of Capt. Very, for the purpose of learning the trade 
of tanner. Isaac, while learning his trade, also learned to love 
Hannah, the daughter of Capt. Very. Having comoleted his 
trade, and his father having died about six months previous, 
Isaac, on May 2d, 1802, took Hannah to wife and returned with 
his bride to Alexandria. At that place he pursued the tanning 
business, and here his first four children were born, viz. : Re- 
becca, Samuel, Hannah and Isaac, Jr. His business either prov- 
ing unprofitable or else his wife pining for her old home, led 
him, about 181 1 or 1812, to return to Salem, where he followed 
the business of tanner for the remainder of his life. In Salem 
four more children were born to them, viz. : Benjamin, Mary, 
Louisa and Frances Eliza. His wife dying Jan. 13th, 1820 (aged 
38 years), he subsequently married Mary Moulton, from the ad- 
joining town of Danvers, and by her had five children, viz. : 
Elizabeth, Susan Wood, John, Mary and George. Isaac died 
Sept. 24th, 1829, aged fifty years, and Dec. 20th, 1854, at the age 
of sixty years, his second wife joined her husband in the great 
beyond. 

Isaac's brother, Benjamin, married Mary Goodhue, of Salem, 
Mass., and removed there. Salem was at that time a pioneer 
port in the East India trade. He first went to sea as supercargo, 
then became a merchant and bank director. He was a man of 
intelligence and integrity. He accumulated a fair property and 
made good use of it. His married life was never blessed with 
children. He died in Salem, May 8th, 1839, aged fifty-eight years, 
his wife surviving him. 

Samuel Butcher, the remaining brother, married Rachel Kaf- 
fendofifer, of Alexandria. He lived for some years in Salem, 
Mass. The first wife was childless and, I think, died in Salem. 
Samuel removed to New Jersey and married a second time (I 
do not know to whom), and had two daughters. Samuel died 
in Burlington. N. J., in 1865, aged eighty-three years. Of his 
family, Mrs. Fannie Hand, of Camden, N. J., is the sole sur- 
vivor. 

JOSEPH PRICE. 



OF THE SHREVE FAMII^Y. 393 

To L. P. Allen, Esq. : 

In your letter of March 14th, 1896, you inquire my authority 
for certain statements concerning Caleb Shreve. My uncle, 
Benjamin Shreve, now living in Salem, Mass., has a trunk con- 
tahiing the private letters and memoranda of his uncle, Benja- 
min Shreve, who was formerly a merchant here. He at first 
went to sea as supercargo and became eventually a merchant 
and bank director. He was a man of intelligence and upright 
character, careful and methodical in his ways, and accumulated 
some property. It is understood in the family that he gathered 
information concerning the Shreve family in view of urging 
either the Dutch or French claims of the' Shreve family. I 
think that the information he gathered was correct, although 
he does not state his sources of information. The Magazme 
of American History, by J. A. Stevens, December, 1878, de- 
scribes a journey in 1788 of Col. Israel Shreve, and occupying 
twenty-five days in wagons, from New Jersey to the Monon- 
gehala River, Pennsylvania, where he settled and hired farms 
from Gen. Geo. Washington. I think the following facts were 
derived from this magazine, viz. : That Caleb Shreve came from 
near London. England. Bought land at Shrewsbury in 1676. Set- 
tled in Mansfield township. New Jersey, 1699. Died 1741. It he 
died in 1741, at ninety years of age, he would have been born 
in 1 65 1, and bought the land when twenty-five years old. But 
as the Shreve adults appear to have generally died between fifty 
and sixty years old, and as the name Caleb was repeated for 
several generations, it would appear that probably Caleb's 
father or uncle of the same name bought the land. Regarding 
Caleb's will, it ought to be on file in the probate records of 
Budington county, New Jersey. I do not know where Caleb's 
children lived. Martha Scattergood is not mentioned in memo- 
randa of will. Don't know the Shreve who was murdered. 
Don't know Benj. Shreve, the hatter. My uncle, Benjamin 
Shreve, is eighty-three years old. is weak in mind and body 
and can give no information. My mother, nee Hannah Shreve, 
is eighty-eight years old. Her mind is pretty clear, but mem- 
ory of early events is defective. I have questioned her about 
early events, but do not get anything more than von alrcadv 
have. JOSEPli PRICK. '

DEPOSITION OF BENJAMIN SHREVE RELATING TO 

HIS ANCESTRY. 

Benjamin Shreve now (October, 1891), a resident of Salem, 
Mass., and president of the Shreve, Crump & Low Jewelry 
Company, of Boston. Mass., presents the following documentary 
evidence in proof of the fact that his father, Isaac Shreve, late 



394 The; gbneai^ogy and history 

of Salem, Mass., was son and lawful heir to the late Benjamni 
Shreve, merchant, of Alexandria, Va., who died Nov. i8th, 1801, 
viz. : First, a letter of fatherly advice and counsel from the said 
Benjamin, the father to the said Isaac, the son, upon the occa- 
sion of the son, in his sixteenth year, leaving his home in Alex- 
andria to live in the family of Capt. Very, of Salem, Mass., for 
the purpose of learning the trade of tanner. 

Second^ the family record in the family Bible of the said 
Isaac Shreve, by which it is shown that Isaac was a son of Ben- 
jamin and Hannah Shreve, of Alexandria, Va., and that he, 
when twenty-three years old, married a daughter of Capt. Very 
and returned with his wife to Alexandria, where his first four 
children were born. Afterwards he with his family returned to 
Salem, Mass., where four more children were born by his first 
wife. This wife dying in 1820, he was subsequently married ro 
Mary Moulton, by whom he had five children, and finally, that 
he, the said Isaac, died Sept. 4th, 1829, at the age of fifty years. 

LETTER FROM BENJAMIN SHREVE TO ISAAC 
SHREVE, WITH DIRECTIONS ON THE BACK. 

To Isaac Shreve, from His Beloved Father : 

Alexandria, 29th the 5th Month, 1794. 

Dear Son Isaac : Thee is now going from under the care of 

thy loving father, whose eyes have been ever watchfull for thy 

good into the wide world. Thee will be now under the care of 

Captain Very, who will advise thee for thy good, and I would 

wish thee to be advised by him. I have thought it most for thy 

good for thee to go to Salem to learn the trade of a tanner. If 

Captain Very can get thee a place to suit, I would advise thee 

to stay ; if not, come home by the first opportunity that offers. 

As thee will be among strangers, take good care how thee forms 

acquaintance. Let them be friends, if possible, and steady, sober 

lads, older than thyself, and the fewer the better. A young man's 

happiness, both in this world and that which is to come, in a 

great measure depends on the connections he forms when young. 

Keep steady to meeting and to plainness both in speech and 

apparel, and that God that made us will protect thee from all 

harm. Above all things, be true to thy trust and defraud no 

man. though the thing may be small. But do unto men as thee 

would that they should do unto thee. And by so doing thee will 

gain the esteem of all good men and thy master, and come up in 

the world a useful member of society. Thee will have peace 

in thy own mind, which cannot be taken away but by actions 

which I hope thee wilt not be guilty of. If I should be spared 

to live until thee comes of age, I am in hopes to be able to set 

thee up in thy intended business, so that by care and industry 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 395 

thee may soon get above the frowns of this world. But if I 
should be taken from works to rewards, thee may expect an 
equal share of what I leave behind me : provided tliee conducts 
thyself in a sober, orderly manner. If thee agrees to stay, I 
shall send thee a certificate, which thee must take to the month- 
ly meeting. As there will be many opportunities, I would have 
thee to write often, and let me know if thee stand in need of 
anything, and I will endeavor to furnish thee from time to time. 
I want thee to serve five years and a half. Then thee will have 
some time in the winter which will give time for thee to pre- 
pare for settling thyself in the spring following. I now recom- 
mend thee to that God that has protected me from my youth 
until this time (my father having died when I was about four 
years old). And I am sure He is the same heavenly father that 
ever He was, and will remain to protect and preserve all those 
that love and fear Him. From thy loving father, 

(Signed) BENJ. SHREVE. 

N. B. — Take care of the little money thee has, for thee will 
find that to be a friend where all others have forsaken thee. I 
shall furnish thee with small matters of money according as T 
hear of thy behaviour. Often read this advice and endeavor 
to follow it. 

Then appeared before me the said Benjamin Shreve, of Sa- 
lem, Mass., personally known to me. and made oath that the 
letter and Bible record herein named belonged to his father, the 
late Isaac Shreve, of Salem, and that they are true and honest 
evidence of the facts in question. 

By careful comparison. I find these to be true and accurate 
copies of the letter and Bible record named therein.

1874. 

The following is condensed from the Baltimore Episcopal 
Methodist of July nth, 1874. which contained a feeling tribute 
to the life and memory of Richard S. Shreve and his wife : 

Richard Sothern Shreve was consecrated to God in early 
youth, and grew up in Christianity. He was educated at Dick- 
enson College, Carlisle, Pa., graduating in i860. That fall ho 
taught school at East New Market, Md., and contemplated stud- 
ying law, but early abandoned the idea and entered the Chris- 
tian ministry, obtaining a license as an exhorter. In i8(32 ho 
entered the Confederate army, and remained until the surren- 
der, serving as Lieutenant in the Stuart Horse Artillery. While 
in the army he conducted various religious services in his bat- 
talion ; after the war, on his marriage, he settled in Alexandria 
Co., Va., and engaged in farming, but serving the church in the 
.-iieantime. In 1868 he was admitted to the Baltimore Confer- 
ence, his first charge being Lafayette Circuit, Montgomery Co.. 
Va., his second Laurel Circuit, Anne Arundel Co., Vd. In 
March, 1871, at conference at Salem, Va.. he asked for and ob- 



420 THE GENEAI^OGY AND HISTORY 

tained a location, intending to settle in Kentucky, but was in- 
duced to abandon the idea and took charge of Monterey Circuit, 
Highland Co., Va. He was readmitted to the conference and 
served the people in Monterey Circuit three consecutive years, 
ending March, 1874. His next and last appointment was Up- 
per Botetourt Circuit. In all these fields he labored faithfully 
and efficiently. His whole heart and mind were enlisted in the 
work he loved. His wife, a beautiful, refined and accomplished 
lady, of a most estimable Christian character, was the daughter 
of Travis Epps, Esq., of Nottoway Co., Va., and although reared 
in the lap of luxury, an utter stranger to hardship or inconven- 
ience of any kind, yet endowed with such noble qualities of head 
and heart, that she easily accomodated herself to the trying po- 
sition of a Alethodist minister's wife, and cheerfully underwent 
the privations and hardships incident thereto. Thursday, in com- 
pany with his brother John, a pastor himself, and wife, he passed 
the day with the family of one of the members of his church. 
Returning to the parsonage at about seven o'clock, they found 
the evening meal prepared, and as was their usual custom be- 
fore partaking of it, they were about to engage in family wor- 
ship. A storm cloud was approaching from which a bolt of 
lightning descended with no warning, striking the house and 
killing them instantly. The brother and servant in the same 
room were seriously injured, but recovered. ^ Their remains 
were deposited in one grave in the old family burying ground in 
Alexandria Co., Va.

of age he returned to Virginia, where he taught school. He 
was elected Sheriff of Loudon Co., which office he held for several 
years. He enhsted as Captain in the war of 1812, and his com- 
pany arrived at New Orleans just at the close of the battle. The 
company was from Harper's Ferry. In 1817, on his marriage, 
he emigrated to Green Co., Ky., where he remained until 1820, 
when he purchased land near Bloomington, Ind., and lived on a 
farm. He was very much opposed to slavery and came to In- 
diana, where he could rear his family away from its influences 
which he considered sinful and degrading. His brother-in-law, 
Scade Chandler, at the same time emigrated to Putnam Co., 
Ind., where his daughter married a Mr. Talbert and had quite a 
family, most of whom died in youth.

4. BENJAMIN SHREVE, child of Benjamin Shreve and 
Anne Berry, was b. in 1769; m. ist, Nancy Thrift, dau. of Rev. 
William Thrift; 2d, Laura Simpson. He d. in 1854. 
Mr. Arthur B. Shreve contributes the following: 
My grandfather, Benj. Shreve, was a tall, large man with dark 
hair and eyes, and exceedingly stern to all outward appearance, 
but very gentle and tender-hearted to those who were acquainted 
with his private character. He held many positions of honor and 
trust in the County, and was a man of the strictest integrity, re- 
quiring all contracts to be complied with to the letter, yet he was 
most liberal to all objects of charity, and the poor in his im- 
mediate neighborhood shared to a great extent his large means ; 
especially was the Episcopal Church the object of his great so- 
licitude, and he was ever ready to aid and tender all the assist- 
ance the Church needed. 

My father, who was named for him, inherited his principal traits 
of character, was tall and exceedingly large, but at the same 
time he was the smallest of all the brothers, only weighing from 
250 to 265 pounds. 

During my grandfather's life he appointed his brother-in-law, 
Robert MofTett, and my father his deputy sherififs, and at his 
death my father was elected High Sheriff, a position of honor 
and lucrativeness in those days. But in after years, when one of 
Mr. Rogers' negroes was convicted of murder in the ist de- 
gree, and in anticipation of his execution, my father, rather 
than hang the servant of his personal friend, resigned and de- 
voted his attention to his large landed estates and milling inter- 
est. 

Peculiar to the times, I desire to relate an incident which 
even shows the vicissitudes of life and the changing fortunes 
of those who are public benefactors of the human race. 

During my father's sherififalty there was a run on the bank in 
Leesburg, and the doors were closed ten minutes to 3 o'clock 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 459 

p. m. They immediately sent a messenger for my father, who 
went to their aid and gave them a check on Alexandria, the port 
from which he shipped most of his flour, for ten thousand dollars 
in gold, and as Alexandria is only 35 miles from Leesburg, two 
of the officers of the bank went there and got the m.oney, re- 
turning in time to open the bank by 9 o'clock the next morning, 
thereby saving the institution from ruin. The time came when 
my father asked a similar favor of the bank, and was of course 
accommodated for any amount he desired, but the crisis of 
1836 and 1837 coming on just as my father had completed the 
construction of another large mill, and having hundreds of slaves 
to feed and clothe, and hundreds of barrels of flour on hand for 
which he had been oiifered nine dollars per barrel, dropped sud- 
denly down to three dollars per barrel, and this statement was 
corroborated only Monday last by Mr. Chas. P. McCabe, of 
Leesburg, whose father was one of my father's millers. These 
sudden changes in the commerce of our land brought on the 
crisis, and my father's financial condition was impaired to a 
considerable extent, in consequence of which he moved to my 
mother's estate "Cedar Grove," in Montgomery Co., Md., the 
home of my birth, the place of their burial, where rest the sacred 
and hallowed memories of father and mother.

460 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

Co., Va. ; m. Mary Elizabeth Trundle, Dec, 2d, 1828. He d. in 
Montgomery Co., Md., Sept. 25th, 1861. 

Mr. Arthur B. Shreve, a descendant, writes: I have a copy of 
a newspaper published in Leesburg on Aug. 25th, 1825, giving 
an account of Gen. La Fayette's visit to President Monroe ; in 
the same account it appears that my father, Benjamin Shreve, 
was Captain of the Artillery, being only twenty-one years old, 
and fired the salutes on the arrival of Gen. La Fayette in Lees- 
burg, and afterwards entertained him at his home, which was 
just on the suburbs of the town. In 1831 Governor Floyd com- 
missioned* my father Colonel of all the militia in this section ; 
his commission was written on parchment and is now in my 
possession. 

During the dark days just prior 1861, this section of country 
was wild with the prospect of war, and every southern heart was 
throbbing with feverish impulses to defend the inalienal^le rights 
of our people. My father's home was the active scene of prepara- 
tion for the coming conflict. Companies were being formed to 
join the South and they would meet at his house, and my father 
gave to many a soldier his first lesson in warfare. At that time 
my brother Daniel was living in the house which I now occupy 
— Shelton Hall. He organized what was known as the Loudon 
Cavalry, and was chosen its Captain. 

My brother Thomas was on Gen. Evans' staff; was captured 
and taken to Fort Delaware, where he remained for 13 months. 
Believing he would soon die with throat trouble, they turned 
him out and he came home a living skeleton, but becoming much 
improved in health, he married the daughter of Gen. Tench 
Tilghman. The seat of disease having been planted, he was 
never entirely free from it. After a few years it increased in 
virulence, and his shattered constitution was unable to stand it, 
and death claimed him. 

I think it was the winter of 1863 when Capt. Grimes' company 
was stationed on our place when the following trivial incident 
happened : I was then but a mere boy, going to school, and had 
about 2.y2 miles to walk, consequently in the winter it was quite 
late when I got home ; but being anxious to make some rabbit 
boxes, I went over to camp to secure some old ones that I had 
seen laying around. On my way the ist picket stopped me and 
questioned me for some time, and I gave him the information 
that I had two brothers in the Southern army, and probably said 
other indiscreet things; however, I was permitted to pass, went 
on and got what I wanted and returned home, which was only 
a short distance. That night about 11 or 12 o'clock a squad of 
soldiers came to our house, and even though it was cold and a 
fough winter night, they arrested me and made me walk to 



OF THE SHREVE FAMII,Y. 461 

camp between two soldiers. My older brother went along, and 
when we reached the guard-house or tent, there we found' that 
the charge of being a spy was made against me. Only a short 
trial was held, and by my brother's evidence the charge was not 
sustained, and I was released. My brother was arrested regularly 
every day and became used to it. Thus it was we were treated to 
all the indignities by an exasperating enemy.

OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 503 



DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM AND MARY 

LAURENCE. 

^ ^ j« ^ 

ANCESTRY. 

I. William Shreve and Mary Laurence. (io6.) 

io6. WILLIAM SHREVE, child of Shreve and 

Catherine , was b. Aug. 26th, 1761, in Maryland; m. ist, 

Mary Laurence; 2d, Mrs. Ann B. Wake, nee Ann Barnett, in 
1808. She was born in Virginia on the Rappahannock River, 
Sept. 20th, 1775, and died Apr. 13th, 1849. He d. in Jan., 1837, 
at ''Anchor-In-Hope," the family homestead in Jessamine Co., 
Ky., near Nicholasville. 

During the American Revolution, soon after the battle of 
Monmouth, which crippled the little American army, recruits 
were much needed and it was at that time when Cornwallis v/as 
pushing his forces to the South that William Shreve, though but 
a youth at a country school, where the recruiting American army 
was passing, volunteered and remained in the service until the 
surrender at Yorktown. He was wounded in some engagement, 
probably the battle of Cowpens, and received a pension from the 
Government until his death. He enlisted from Maryland. In 
1796 he moved from that State to Kentucky, settling in Jessa- 
mine Co., where he purchased a large tract of land and built a 
mill and established a store. At this place he lived a long time, 
and his wife died and was buried there, after which ho traded 
for land near the present site of Nicholasville. and later married 
a second time. For thirty-one years he was Judge of the County 
Court of Jessamine County. The eldest surviving member of 
his branch. Judge Luther M. Shreve, of Chicago, has written : 
"My grandmother married a second time, and when I knew her, 
her name was Catherine Thomas. She was a remarkable woman 
— tall, dignified and reserved even with my father. Judge William 
Shreve. She lived alone (except with her two servants) for a 
number of years on her own little farm, consenting in her last 
years, at my father's request, to come and live near him at his 
farm, known as "Domestic Retreat," near Nicholasville. and ten 
miles from Lexington, Ky. My earliest education was from her. 
She gave me a pony and taught me to ride. She died about 1830. 
My father was perhaps as well known in Central Kentucky as 
any man in the State, of dignified, quiet manner and a Christian 



504 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

gentleman. My parents were the first converts to the Christian 
Church organized by Alexander Campbell, of Bethany College, 
Va., and proprietor of the Christian Harbinger. My father was 
politically an old line Whig, and entertained Henry Clay, 
of whom he was a personal and political friend, whenever he 
came to our villag^e at Nicholasville to attend court, my father 
being the Judge for some years of the County and Probate 
Courts, and manifested his friendship when pecuniary disaster 
came to Mr. Clay. We frequently communicated with Capt. 
Shreve during the progress of the work undertaken by him in re- 
moving the obstructions in the Red River. My mother, Miss Ann 
Barnett, of Farquier Court House, Va., married Dr. Wake, and 
with him and their children, Alexander, Ambrose and Mary, emi- 
grated to Kentucky. While descending the Ohio River her hus- 
band was accidentally killed on the barge on which they descend- 
ed by the discharge of a rifle-gun when being taken down from 
the side of the boat. She afterward married my father, who had 
five children by his former wife."

I. i. LEVEN LAURENCE SHREVE, the eldest child of 
Judge William Shreve and Mary Laurence, was b. Aug. 27th, 
1793, in Hagerstown. Md. ; m. ist, Hannah Andrews, in Flem- 
mingsburg, Ky. ; 2d, Mary Sheppard, of Virginia (no issue by 
either marriage). He d. April 3d, 1864. 

Leven L. Shreve was reared to manhood on his father's subur- 
ban farm near Nicholasville, Ky., receiving a fair, substantial 
but comparatively Hmited education. At his majority his father 
gave him and his brother, Thomas T. Shreve, $5,000 each in 
cash, a sum in those days considered opulent. On this capital 
they embarked in the iron business and builded for themselves 
a successful career and fortune. Their remarkable filial love, do- 
mestic intimacy and business interests renders a sketch of his 
life incomplete without referring to that of his brother, Tliomas 
T. Shreve. By neither of his marriages did he have children. 
His large and handsome estate passed by will to his numerous 
nephews and nieces. Mr. Shreve. with his brother, in 1832, 
moved to Louisville, engaging in the foundry business, after- 
wards in the iron business, under the name of L. L. Shreve & 
Company ; following this in the iron and hardware business un- 
der the name of Shreve, Anderson & Thomas. He became in- 
terested in all public matters relating to the future prosperity of 
his adopted city. He was the prime mover and the first Presi- 
dent of the Louisville Gas Company, holding the position many 
years. For several years he was a leading member of the City 
Council and in that'capacity did much to establish it on a basis 
which to-day makes it one of the best laid out and niost at- 
tractive cities in the Union. He was the chief organizer, pro- 
moter, and the first President of the Louisville & Nashville Rail- 
road, which position he held for three years. About the year 
1838. long before the steam fire department was thought of. 
Louisville boasted of her well equipped voluntary organization 
composed of her best citizens, of whom L. L. Shreve was their 
Chief. Identified and interested in the city's growth and pros- 
perity he invested his all within her environs. He was the owner 
of a three-fourths interest in the Louisville Hotel, besides sev- 
eral larp-e storehouses on Main and other streets. Plivsically and 



506 THE GENEAI,OGY AND HISTORY 

mentally he towered with any of his peers ; an independent 
thinker, fertile of resource, a forcible speaker, with strong con- 
victions, maintained with firmness and courage. Imbued and 
fired with strong union sentiment he emphasized them during the 
stormy times of the war in his covmcils with such associates as 
Governor Robinson, Prentice, Boyle, and others. In his own 
home he evinced a refined taste by surrounding himself with 
works of art and the best literature, and his hospitality was in 
keeping with his character as a courteous, kindly gentleman of 
the old school. — (From the "Memorial History of Louisville," 
1896.) 

2. ii. THOMAS TALLIFERO SHREVE, the second 
child and second son of Judge William Shreve and Mary Lau- 
rence, was b. in Hagerstown, Md., Feb. 4th, 1796; m. ist, Mary 
Scott, in Jessamine Co., Ky., Nov. 9th, 1818; 2d, Eliza Rogers, 
in Bath Co., Ky., Jan. 5th, 1826; 3d, Belle Sheridan, in Louis- 
ville, Ky., Apr. 29th, 1858. He d. in Louisville, Ky., Nov. 5th, 
1869. 

Thomas T. Shreve acquired his rudimentary education and 
grew to manhood in Nicholasville, Ky.. the home of his parents. 
He began his business career as a clerk, and by his own energy 
and merit advanced himself to the proprietorship of a large mer- 
cantile establishment in Lexington. Later he moved to Green- 
upsburg and embarked in the iron business with his brother, L. 
L. Shreve. and still later they established themselves in the roll- 
ing mill business in Cincinnati, O., the success in which ultimate- 
ly became the making of their great estates. In 1832 he moved 
with his family to Louisville, and at once took a prominent posi- 
tion in the business circles of the place. He aided by his large 
experience and wealth in the development and prosperity of 
many city enterprises, which to-day commemorate his sagacity. 
Though modest and retiring by nature, yet he filled many posi- 
tions of high and honorable trusts, among which may be men- 
tioned the Presidency of the Bank of Louisville, also the Louis- 
ville Gas Company, and a director in the Louisville, Frankfort 
and Lexington Railroad Company ; member the City Council 
and holding one of the highest ofBces in the Masonic Order. In 
this connection it may be said that long and gratefully will be 
remembered his donation of five acres of ground, on which now 
stands the Masonic Widow and Orphans' Home, an institution 
in which his whole heart was enlisted and whose life was short- 
ened by exposure while present at the ceremonies of laying the 
corner stone. From 1850 he was associated with many banking 
enterprises in Louisville. Thomas T. Shreve was one of the 
shrewdest and most successful business men — everything he 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 507 

touched seemed to enhance. His judgment was unerring. When 
others were holding on to their stocks and bonds after the late 
war,^ he was quietly converting his into valuable real estate in 
Louisville and Chicago. His intuition was seldom at fault. One 
of his fixed rules was to cautiously and judiciously buy that he 
would never have anv incentive to sell, consequently the records 
of the court seldom disclose any transfers from him ; a buyer, 
a holder, rarely a seller, and thus his family of children and 
grand children are to-day enjoying the benefits of his life-long 
industry and princely estate. In religious belief he was an 
Unitarian, but largely contributed to other churches and societies, 
while in politics he was a staunch Whig of the Henry Clay 
school, and a warm friend and admirer of the great Kcntuckian. 

During life, he surrounded his children with every comfort and 
established those with families in comfortable homes. Around 
his own family hearth were lavished all that liberality and good 
taste could gather from wealth — nothing was wanting to make 
all around him happy. 

This imperfect sketch would not be complete if reference were 
not made to the beautiful life that bound twin-like he and his 
brother, L. L. Shreve, so close to each other from the cradle to 
the grave, death coming only after an association of three-score 
years and ten to part them. During all these long years they 
lived single or married under one roof or in adjoining houses. 
The sound judgment of the one and perhaps broader intellect 
of the other working in harmony enabled them to confront and 
overcome great commercial barriers. Success followed the natu- 
ral usufruct of a close fraternal alliance. A collossal family shaft 
jointly erected by them, carved thereon the simple inscription : 
"To the Memory" of L. L. Shreve and T. T. Shreve." may be seen 
in the beautiful Cave Hill Cemetery. — (From "Memorial Histor\' 
of Louisville," 1896.)

Cincinnati, O,, Jan. 28th, 1852. He resides in Louisville, Ky. 

Charles U. Shreve graduated from St. Mary's College, in 
Marion County, Ky., in the class of 1845, and subsequently 
studied law, and was a member of the first class that graduated 
from a Louisville law school. Impaired eyesight deterred him 
from at once practicing his profession, and his activities were 
later in other fields. In 1857 he engaged in mercantile business, 
and at the same time was one of the editors and publishers of 
the first society journal published in Louisville. He was later 
senior member of the firm of Shreve and Stewart, the first 
woodenware house established in the city, and for a time was 
interested in the iron and hardware house of L. L. Shreve & 
Co., and a member of the banking firm of J. P. Curtiss & Co., 
and was associated with other local business enterprises. Later 
he was engaged in coal mining operations in Washington Co., 
Ind., and in the manufacture of cement at Alton, 111. He was 
President of the Eureka Coal Mining Company, and largely in- 
terested in developing the coal mines of Southern Indiana. The 
elder Shreve died in 1869, leaving the management of his large 
estate to his son, Charles U. Shreve. Property interests in Chi- 
cago and Louisville, amounting to one and a half million of 
dollars, were thus placed under his care and responsibility, 
necessitating his retirement from business on his own account. 
His uncle's large estate was also committed to his care, and 
since 1874 his time has been mainly devoted to those interests. 
These splendid estates built up by two of the most noted pio- 
neers of Louisville, have been wisely administered on by him. 
Prior to the war Mr. Shreve was an old line Whig, after that 
party's decline he became a Democrat, but has never been active 
in politics. With a natural fondness for literature and literary 
pursuits he has been a frequent contributor to the press of poems 
and prose sketches of literary excellence. Afifable in manner, 
attractive in conversation, warm in his friendships, fond of out- 
door sports, Mr. Shreve lives in a genial atmosphere and well 
sustains the good name and high character of the family to 
which he belongs.

In his twenty-second year John Milton Shreve migrated South 
and engaged in mercantile business in Texas, leaving his home 
in Louisville, Ky., June loth, 1835, going to New Orleans by 
steamer. While there he met Gen. Stephen Austin, who had 
just been released from prison in Mexico, where he had g-one to 
advocate certain rights to be granted Texan colonists. At the 
same time Mr. Shreve also made the acquaintance of Gen. Za- 
valla, who had been Secretary to Santa Anna. Both these gen- 
tlemen were bound for Texas, and, at their solicitation he em- 
barked with them July 8th, on board the San Felipi, for Velasco, 
at the mouth of the Brazos river. 

McKinney and Williams, merchants of Ouintana, and largest 
cotton brokers of that day, were owners of the vessel, and see- 
ing the danger of the capture of the San Felipi with such import- 
ant passengers as Austin and Zavalla by the revenue cutter City 
of Mexico at that time attempting to blocade Texas ports, di- 
rected William Hard, the Captain, while in New Orleans, to fit 
her out with two six-pound guns together with small arms, and 
to brace her bulwarks with bales of cotton. Thus equipped, she 
sailed for Velasco, and on her arrival the Mexican cruiser Guerro 
demanded her papers, on receiving answer from the San Felipi 
to "come and get them," opened fire on her. After a sharp con- 
flict the Guerro attempted to escape, but after an all-night chase 
was captured by the San Felipi. When the Mexican cruiser 
dropped her colors to half-mast, Capt. McKinney called for vol- 



520 THK GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

unteers to board her. Capt. Haskins, A. J. Harris and J. M. 
Shreve answered the call and were instructed to take charg-e 
of her and send the Captain with his papers to the San Felipi. 
This little sea fight, so successfully conducted, gave joy to all 
that section and was to the people of Texas really the crossing 
of the Rubicon. At the commencement of the Texan War, John 
Milton Shreve was appointed Assistant Quartermaster, with 
rank of Captain ; was present and participated in the battle of 
San Jacinta, when Santa Anna was captured. Fear being felt 
for this distinguished prisoner's safety, J. M. Shreve was appealed 
to and gave upper rooms in his residence, which was occupied 
for some time by Santa Anna, with his guards. Mr. Shreve held 
various offices of trust in the Lone Star Republic, v*^as appointed 
by President Mirabeau Lamar (who succeeded Houston), Re- 
corder of the City of Austin, Travis Co., May 26th, 1841. His 
commission, signed bv President Lamar, is at present among 
his papers. He was elected Chief Clerk of the House of Repre- 
sentatives of the Republic of Texas the first terms of Gen. Hous- 
ton as President. His first wife survived their marriage only ten 
months. Dec. 4th, 1841, he procured license for the practice of 
law in Texas, but shortly after returned to Kentucky, his old 
home, on a visit, where he met and married his second \vife, the 
daughter of Captain James Simpson, of Owen Co., Ky. He 
never again left Kentucky, and for thirty years prior to his death 
lived in or near Louisville, serving many years as Elder of the 
Christian Church, much beloved and esteemed by all that knew 
him.

522 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

THE HOLLAND ESTATE. 

LETTERS AND DOCUMENTS. 

((?• t^* ^^ ^* 

There is little doubt that the descendants of Caleb Shreve 
and Sarah Areson had a legal interest in one estate, if not two 
in Amsterdam, Holland. One was reported the property of 
Caleb Shreve's grandmother, the account of whose romantic 
marriage with William Shreve of the Isle of Wight is found 
among nearly all descendants, particularly those in the Eastern 
States. The other was the property of Sarah Areson's ma- 
ternal grandmother. A legacy is sometimes alluded to as due 
them through ancestors named Shreve. 

The records of the "Holland Occupation of New Amsterdam" 
still preserved in New York cover the period 163Q-1644. In 
them the name of Areson occurs several times. The "Calender 
or Historical Manuscript" is translated from the Dutch lan- 
guage, and comprises three or four volumes, the contents of 
which are of a mixed character, and difficult to connect. They 
record that September 12th, 1648, a power of attorney was 
given by Leendert Arenson to Jan Claessen Leydecker to col- 
lect a legacy in Holland. Leydecker was drowned at sea, and 
the legacy was not collected, but remained in Amsterdam in the 
charge of the government, and has never been collected. August 
17th, 1649, ^ deed was given to Gysbert Areson of a plantation 
on Long Island. This plantation "adjoins the land of Peter 
Schorsteenveger," and was the residence near Brooklyn of 
Sarah Areson's parents. Other entries show different events 
in the lives of the Aresons, proving they resided on Long 
Island. A Bart Areson was a soldier in 1660 in the service 
of the Holland government. One that examined these records 
in 1874 writes : "Sarah Areson was the heir and only heir of her 
grandmother (the Widow Orrest), who heired the large Hol- 
land estate at Amsterdam, originally very great for those times. 
Derick Areson (Aertsen), married Sarah Orrest, and her only

child was Sarah Areson, who married Caleb Shreve. The Are- 
son family lived near Brooklyn, N. Y., for some years, and oc- 
cupied a farm or bowery as they called it. They also owned 
land at Flatbush, L. L, The legacy which Leydecker was 
authorized to collect, was the one heired by Sarah Areson." 
This record is the earliest relating to the Amsterdam esiatc, 
which has puzzled many Shreve descendants. In it there are 
some irreconcilible discrepancies. Sarah Areson's youngest 
child, Benjamin, was born in 1706. She herself was not likely 
born earlier than 1660, and as she was the only child of the first 
wife, it is improbable they were married as early as 1648, the 
date Leydecker was authorized to collect a legacy coming to 
her. 

The following will of Derick Areson is recorded in the Sur- 
rogate's office in New York City : 

The Last will & Testament of Dirick Areson of Flushing 
deceased. 

The first day of October 1678 I Dirick Areson of Flushing be- 
ing weak in body yet of sound & perfect memory blessed be ye

The estate of ye aboved Dirick yt is in Holland if it be re-

524 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

Derick Areson was preparing to go to Holland to get a lega- 
cy when a kick from his horse occasioned his death in 1678. 
He evidently thought his interest in an estate was one that 
he could legally devise to his children by both marriages — only 
one by the first, then surviving. It is not improbable he was 
interested in an estate coming from his own ancestors — per- 
haps that referred to in the records of 1648 — and which he was 
going to collect when the fatal accident occurred, whereupon 
he devised it to his children. This view would reasonably ex- 
plain both the power of attorney in 1648 and the will. 

Family tradition says a legacy should have passed to Sarah 
Areson from some ancestress. That some ancestress of the 
children of Caleb Shreve and Sarah Areson was named Oara 
Oara (or a similar name), that she resided in Amsterdam, and 
was very wealthy — and that from her an estate should have de- 
scended to American heirs, is not to be doubted. 

Caleb Shreve and Sarah Areson married about 1680, and 
shortly thereafter settled near Shrewsbury, New Jersey, from 
whence in 1699 they moved to Burlington Co., N. J., locating 
on a beautiful farm, afterwards known in the family as Mount 
Pleasant, in Mansfield Township, where they lived the remain- 
der of their lives. Before leaving her northern home, Sarah 
Areson, then eighteen or twenty years of age, was undoubtedly 
conversant with her ancestry, and the occasion of her father's 
contemplated journey to Holland, and his untimely death. It 
is not known what evidence necessary to establish their claim 
was collected by Derick Areson or Caleb Shreve, or how it was 
preserved. On the death of the latter in 1741 the papers fell 
into possession of his youngest son, Benjamin, who in 175 1 
collected them and prepared to go to Holland to obtain the 
legacy. He was prevented by the breaking of a blood-vessel 
which caused his death, and the papers passed 'into the posses- 
sion of his widow — Rebecca. She married a second time, and 
they passed beyond her control. Within the next thirty years 
— probably during or just after the revolutionary war — after 
their possession has passed through several persons they were 
destroyed. Oral family tradition perpetuated the circumstances 
until about 1830, when several older members of the family 
made permanent records in the form of statements caused by a 



OF the; shreve family. 525 

revival of interest in the claim, and the desire of the younger 
generation to preserve the best record they could then obtain 
from the older ones. Mary Field, a descendant, residing in 
or near Philadelphia, Pa., in 1820, read an advertisement in 
a newspaper calling on the heirs to prove heirship and claim 
property. It is not surprising that several years elapsed be- 
fore general action was taken, as those were the days of slow 
transportation and crude mail facilities, with the number of de- 
scendants largely increased and scattered from Massachusetts 
to Virginia, and the Atlantic ocean to the Mississippi River. To 
properly understand the following letters, the statements al- 
luded to should precede. They are unsigned, and not dated, but 
authentic. Caleb Shreve was born in 1766, and Reuben, his 
brother, in 1768. They were grandchildren of Benjamin Shreve 
and Rebecca French, by their oldest son, Caleb Shreve (born 
in 1734) and Grace Pancoast. They were between sixty and 
seventy years of age, and the eldest descendants of the Benja- 
min Shreve branch living at the time. They resided on or near 
the old homestead, at Mount Pleasant. Caleb died in 1836, and 
Reuben in 1841, without probably knowing the result of the in- 
vestigations then pending. 

Statement of Caleb Shreve of the township of Lawrence, in 
the County of, Hunterdon and state of New Jersey. 

I, Caleb Shreve of the township of Lawrence in the County 
of Hunterdon, and state of New Jersey — 

Having understood from my youth up that a large sum of 
money was now in Holland belonging of right to the Shreve's 
family do proceed to give the evidence that has been handed 
down in our family in support of the claim ; (to wit — ) 

That Caleb Shreve came from Europe and married a daugh- 
ter of (Oro Orisin or Direck Areson — or some such name — ) 
named Sarah, he living on Long Island and that he had two 
wives by the first he had two children. Sarah and one younger 
who died young — that their grandmother in Holland left tlicm 
a large property in Amsterdam and as the youngest died Sarah 
became heir of the whole estate. It consisted in houses and 
lands the the above I often heard repeated in my father's fami- 
ly by two persons in (particular) a man named James \\Trnal 
and a woman named Betty Martin boath of them having lived 
in the family of Benjamin Shreve in the life time of Caleb-and 
Sarah Sarah the father and mother of Benjamin Shreve their son 



526 THE GENKAI^OGY AND HISTORY 

talk about the same and that Benjamin Shreve did make prep- 
aration to go to Amsterdam to obtain it when he was taken sick 
and died — 

The above statement was corroborated by Israel Shreve 
the son of Benjamin Shreve to me in the year One thousand 
seven hundred and ninety three and he also stated that he has 
often endeavored to prevail upon his brother Caleb Shreve to 
go to Holland and get it but could not succeed in his en- 
treaties, he also stated that his mother had married a second 
time the name of her second husband was George Eyres he 
carried away all the papers in any way relating to the Holland 
property (Her son Caleb not being of age that is not twenty 
one) and absolutely refused to give up listening to no en- 
treaties until his death, his son Samuel Eayres, was left ex- 
ecutor and he continuing to fill to retain the said papers 
although often solicited to give them up when he died he left 
two sons George and Nathan, in dividing the property George 
had the house and Nathan the barn they had some difference 
about the goods and George put Nathan's part out of the house 
and Nathan put them in the barn with the desk & the barn 
was burnt before morning with all the goods in it, have all- 
way thought the papers was burnt at that time Betty Martin 
died in the year 1791 or 2 James Varnal diad in the year 1801 
or 2 it was supposed they was upwards of one hundred years 
old — Israel Shreve died in the 1799 — 

In the 1735 April 5 Caleb Shreve made his last will and tes- 
tament and among many other bequeath he gives to his son 
Benjamin all and singular my land Messauges and tenements 
by him freely to be possessed and enjoyed his heirs and assigns 
forever to sell and dispose of the same — 

And in a note is the following — • 

I also give unto my said son Benjamin Shreve the remainder 
of my said personal estate & moveables whatsoever unto him 
his heirs and assigns and it is my desire that what remaineth of 
my said wife thirds when she dieth to give the same to my 
son Benjamin — Proved in the Surrogate's ofifice 18 day of Feb- 
ruary 1740. 

Sarah Shreve did on the 28 day of February 1740-41 make a 
deed or instrument in writing according to the request of her 
said husband Caleb Shreve in the following words (to wit) I 
set over and deliver unto the said Benjamin Shreve all my 
right, titel and Interest of the lands tenements and heredita- 
ments and also my right and titel and interest of the movables 
estate given me by my late husband Caleb Shreve in his last 
will and testament to have and to hold the said bargained 
premises unto the said Benjamin Shreve his heirs executors,

[Statement of Reuben Shreve of Monmouth County, New 
Jersey :] 

To all Christian people, whom this may concern : 

I Reuben Shreve of the township of Shrewsbury m the County 
of Monmouth State of New Jersey being about to commit to 
writing what I know and what has been handed down by my 
ancestors and others respecting my genealogy and an estate in 
Holland to wit I was the son of Caleb & Grace Shreve late 
Grace Pancoast my father was the son of Benjamin & Rebeccah 
Shreve late Rebecca French, Benjamin Shreve was the son of 
Caleb & Sarah Shreve late Sarah Arenson. Caleb Shreve is 
the first of the family we have any record of. Sarah Arenson 
was the daughter of Dedrick Arenson and wife who emigrated 
from Holland to America and settled on Long Island in the 
State of New York. Dedrick Arenson's wife having two daugh- 
ters previous to her death one of them departed this life when 
young, the surviving daughter Sarah Arenson fell heir to an 
estate in Holland per her grandmother. Her father Dedrick 
Arenson after the death of the wife that came with him from 
Holland married a second wife by the name of Hedger. Ded- 
rick Arenson was preparing to go git the estate that fell to his 
daughter in Holland but was prevented by the kick of a horse 
which occasioned his death. His daughter Sarah Arenson af- 
ter her marriage to Caleb Shreve moved to New Jersey in the 
township of Shrewsbury County of Monmouth. After their 
residence in Shrewsbury some time Caleb Shreve purchased an 
estate in Burlington County State of New Jersey. The es- 
tate remains in the family to the present day. After the 
death of Caleb Shreve his widow Sarah Shreve made her son 
Benjamin Shreve sole heir to her estate and the estate left her 
by her late husband Caleb Shreve. Benjamin Shreve collected 
the papers and was preparing to go to Holland to get the es- 
tate but he being prevented by the breaking of a blood vessel 
which caused his death and my father Caleb Shreve being the 
elder surviving son of Benjamin Shreve and he being young 
at the death of his father and previous to his arriving of age to 
heir his estate left him by his father his mother married a man 
by the name of George Ears When my father came to heir 
the estate left him by his father Benjamin Shreve my grand- 
mother would not exact her thirds it excited Ears so he gath- 



528 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

ered up the papers that had been collected by my grandfather 
Benjamin Shreve to go to Holland to get the estate there and 
conveyed them away with him and he put my father to defiance 
to get them unless he would let him have one-half of the estate 
After the death of Ears my father applied to Eares son Sam- 
uel Eares who had the papers and he refused to let my father 
have the papers but said he could take care of them as vv'ell as 
any other person After his death his property fell into the 
hands of his two sons George & Nathan Ears when they came 
to divide their estate the papers fell into the hands of Nathan 
Ears and he moved his part of the furniture into his barn he 
having no other building on his part of the lot. The barn took 
fire by some means and the papers being in the desk in the barn 
were all consumed ; I have often heard my grandmother Ears 
say there was estate enough in Holland that belonged to her 
son Caleb Shreve my father if he would go after it to maintain 
the whole family. I have heard Betty Martin a woman that 
lived with my great-grandmother Sarah Shreve late Sarah 
Arenson, whom the estate came by that she had frequently 
heard her speak of her estate in Holland. I have heard my 
father and his brother speak of the estate in Holland and others 
with many other things relating to the estate in Holland but not 
so distinctly recollected as would warrant my committing them 
to writing on this paper. 

One hundred and fifty years had elapsed since the ancestors 
left the reported legacy. The descendants living represented 
the seventh and eighth generations from her. The children of 
Sarah Areson, if the estate was her grandmother's, were the 
third generation, but if it was from Oara's mother, Caleb 
Shreve's ancestress, they were the fifth generation. The cor- 
respondence and documents relating to the investigations will 
be presented in chronological order, with such brief comments 
as may tend to elucidate them. 

June 4th, 1830, Joshua Haines, from Cropwell, Burlington 
County, New Jersey, writes his cousin, Stacy Shreve of Salem, 
Columbiana County, Ohio, as follows : 

Respected Cousin 

I take the liberty to state that it is currently reported in 
our country as I also apprehend in thine that there is a large 
estate descending from Holland to Aronsons Woolmans and 
Shreves Families, and much of the report I believe is without 
foundation. In fact the case appears to be this : About the 




LEVKN I,. SHKKVK. 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 529 

year 1660 Devrick Aronson came to this countn- and settled 
on Long Island. Some years after a rich relative of his died 
and left the aforesaid Derwick a very considerable estate in 
Holland. Sometime after this he made arrangements to go 
to Holland and take possession of the aforesaid estate ; but by 
some accident it is said he received a hurt by a horse, and in a 
short time after died, leaving behind him a will by which he 
leaves all his estate on Long Island to his wddow, and his 
Holland estate equally between his children which estate has 
never been obtained by his said children, and I apprehend never 
will be, as it has been now more than one hundred and fifty 
years since his decease without any claim being made by his 
heirs and it looks most probably must have sunken by this time 
into the general government or into hands where it will be 
forever lost. 

I may further state for thy information that the Holland 
minister in this country has been consulted and he has written 
to his correspondent in Holland upon the occasion and he will 
receive an answer to his letter in a very short time by the re- 
ceipt of which it will be ascertained whether there is any es- 
tate for the heirs of Devrick Arinson yea or nay ; by whom the 
Arinson Woolmans and Shreves have decended ; and as each 
family are endeavoring to prove their line of decent I have un- 
dertaken to search into ours which I trace up to our grandfath- 
er, Amos Shreve and no further. It appears that in the first 
place one Caleb Shreve married Sarah Aronson the daughter of 
the aforesaid Devrick Aronson, by which marriage there were 
several children. From thence decended the line of the 
Shreves. Now there appears to be a blank between our grand- 
father, Amos Shreve, and Caleb Shreve that married Aronsons 
daughter, which I am at this time unable to make out ; and if 
thee or thy sister Elizabeth have grandfathers marriage cer- 
tificate or any other writings in your possession that may cast 
light upon the subject as we shall be under the necessity ot 
proving our lineage before we can be admitted with the rest 
of the heirs, if we are in the line of decent, which I very much 
doubt we can prove, as the old records of our family appear 
to be lost. Please direct the same, if any, well folded up in a 
letter, without fail to me at Cropwell. The papers will be 
taken care of and returned when sufficient proof is made. The 
tracing out our lineage will be attended with no harm if there 
is nothing to be obtained, and I apprehend without very great 
expense. Bear in mind that what I have undertaken is for the 
general benefit of the heirs of Amos Shreve our grandfather. 
It is my wish that this investigation may be kept in 
the family and not made public, and I will inform thee how 
the matter stands as soon as intelligence shall be received from

say that we have been favored with good health and my 
brothers and sisters families likewise. The season with us 
has been moist and cold ; rye, wheat & clover & all grasses 
look very abundant ; corn generally bad My best respects to 
thee and family and thy sister Elizabeth With sentiments of

During the years intervening from the appearance of the ad- 
vertisement the report of an estate in Holland awaiting Shreve 
claimants had gradually spread among the many descendants, 
and as a consequence each branch was diligent in collecting an- 
cestral and genealogical information in their own interests. 
Very probably Samuel B. Shreve living at Alexandria, Va., only 
a few miles from Washington, was the one that consulted the 
Holland minister in this country which resulted in his address- 
ing two letters to the American consul at Amsterdam, Holland. 
The latter written June 3d, 1832, is as follows :

Respected friend. 
I wrote thee some time since respecting some property in 
the town of Amsterdam, formerly belonging to Sarah Arison 
the said Sarah Arison married Caleb Shreve of New Jersey in 
North America which persons were my great grand parents, 
My cousin Benjamin Shreve who also was a great grand son 
of these two persons who has in his possession their marriage 
certificate, the Areson coat of arms, also a deed of the prop- 
erty which she gave to her youngest son Benjamin who was 
my grandfather. I have understood he has sent a man on to 
make some enquiries concerning the property since which 
time I have not heard of his return or any information he has 
gained. This subject is not new to us. We have often heard 
the older branches speaking about it. My grandfather was 
making preparations to go on to take possession of it, while 
making preparations to start his horse "kicked" him in the 
breast which occasioned his death in a short time I could 
not get one of the advertisements, but I saw it and it agreed

exactly with the statements I have had of my uncles, it con- 
sisted of two squares beside other valuable property : I have 
understood the government has took in possession many 
years back : If this circumstance has come under thy notice, 
or if thee has gained any information on the subject, let it be 
of whatever nature it may, I would wish thee to write by the 
first opertunity — When the Dutch Minister was made ac- 
quainted with the subject and of our having a deed and the 
family coat of arms he was asked whether it was out of date, 
he said no it is easily obtained now as it ever was if it had 
been five hundred years back it would not make any difference

I have not any of the papers, they are in the hands of my cousin

Mr. Benjamin Shreve of Columbus, N. J. 

Sir— 

I returned from Washington on Saturday where I frequently 
met your nephew Caleb Perkins. He has for some years been 
urging Mr. Rich'd L. Coxe formerly of this town to take in 
hand the claims your family and his have for a certain large 
property lying in Holland — Mr Coxe has requested me to con- 
sult the principal heirs as to an arrangement if upon examina- 
tion of the proofs you have he should think they would justify 
the time labor and expense of the undertaking. 

I should like very much pleased to see you on this subject. 
I live in Burlington at the old Brewery. Bring with you what- 
ever papers, proofs &c you may have that I may make out a

532 THE GENEAI^OGY AND HISTORY 

From this date Benjamin Shreve of Columbus, New Jersey, 
was the centre of correspondence. As the reports spread, he 
evidently was mentioned as the source for rehable information 
and great confidence was placed in his judgment regarding it. 
This was very natural. He was the patriarch of the family — 
born in 1759 — owning the old homestead on which he lived 
and on which he died in 1844. He was the elder brother of 
Caleb and Reuben. His father was the eldest son of Benjamin 
Shreve, who was the youngest child of Caleb Shreve and Sarah 
Areson. His age, descent, intelligence and place of residence 
made him, as also his brothers, conspicuous in the minds of 
others. He, too, had heard the story related by James Varnal 
and Betty Martin in his boyhood days at the home where he 
then resided. 

May 8th, 1833, James Brown of Dayton, O., writes Benjamin 
Shreve of Columbus, N. J., as follows : 

Dayton 8th May 1833. 

Dear sir — 
I take the liberty to address you of this time by the Request 
of Joseph Beck formerly of or near your plase conserning an 
estate that is said to be in Holland Coming to the heirs of 
Shreve or Aaronson. I request of you to give me what infor- 
mation you have on that subject as I am one of the heirs by 
Marriage and have an opportunity of send there to Amsterdam 
this summer by a man that was raised there and understands 
the language and he will have the records examired. I do 
request of you to give me all the information on this subject 
peticurly the names of the pusin to who this estat was left two 
and who left it and wether by will or other wise and whot the 
estate amounted too and in whot situations and I think that 
there is no doubt but what it can be obtained. Your atten- 
tion to this will be greatfully acknowledged and attended to by 
yours JAMES BROWN.

Feb. 4th, 1834, Caleb Perkins, a nephew residing in Wash- 
ington addresses Benjamin Shreve as to employing Richard 
Coxe, an attorney as suggested by Mr. Murkee, the previous 
February. 



Washington City, February the 4 1834. 
Dear Uncle 

I thought I would write a few lines to you concerning that 
grate fortune that we have talk so much about, at the time that 
thee was so much stir abought it. I mentioned it to Mr. Coxe, 
and he has bin at me ever since to not drop it, but continue and 
see if there cannot be something done done in it — I told him that 
I have not the least idea of getting one lent — but he still insists 
on trying — Mr Coxe has been very much encouraged in getting 
property for people down here, he had a case on had a short 
time ago, to a very large amount, and he got the property, the 
bargain was, if he got the property he should have five thousand 
dollars. Mr. Coxe says that if you can show him anything he 
can git any holt of that property in Holland he will go there 
himself, if we are all willing and see weather it can be had or not, 
I think his offer is a very fine ofifer, he says he will go there and 
if he gits the property give him so much and if he gits none 
he will charge nothing and pay his own expenses if it can be 
had I dont know of a better hand than Mr Coxe would be for 
to git it. he is very prosperous in gaining causes down hear and 
I thought that I woud mearly mention it to you as he is as 
anxious for us to let him try if he cant git it for us — and as Mr 
McMutre was down here they was at me again I told Mr Mc 
that he mite go and see you, and see what you thought of it — 
I told him as for my part I could give him no encouragement 
conserning it — if you think well of it you may please tell or 
show him what writings you have conserning it and let him judg 
weather he thinks their is any holt worth wile to look after it or 
not — I have nothing new to write to you at present of any im- 
portance but I would be very glad to see you hear and I think 
that you mite venture to come and see us and see the many 
curiosiyes 

in the city. I think if you was to come you would not be dis- 
appointed with a great deal of enjoyment hear for a few days — 
I should like to finish my letter out as I have paper left and 
tell you how we come on, and also the state of affairs hear, but 
I set down in a great hurry to scratch these few lines to send you 
remember me to my lawyers and tcH them that I think they 
might come and see me — Rebecca send her love to cousin >fary

Wm. W, Murkee, after the lapse of another year, during which 
he was assiduous in gathering information, explains the situa- 
tion as he views it to Richard C. Coxe as follows : 

Burlington May 7th 1834. 
My dear Richard — 

Your sister communicated to me a part of Susan's letter re- 
ceivd yesterday stating you had some idea of going to Holland 
to ascertain what was necessary to establish the claims of the 
Aaronson family to the property claimed by them in that coun- 
try. Since I left you I have made every possible inquiry into 
the business & have conversed with everybody interested in the 
matter whom I could hear of Benjamin Shreve is the only per- 
son who appears to know anything about the matter, and I re- 
gret to state he looks upon it as a perfectly desperate affair — 
Shreve is upward of 75 years, and the only being now alive who 
knows anything of the rights of the family, and all he knows is 
from what he has heard his grandfather and an old English 
servant of the family say, when he was quite a lad. — He has 
not a paper of any discription in his possession, the coat of 
arms has long since been lost. The only document I have been 
able to find is the accompanying copy of the will of Derrick 
Aaronson of Flushing. According to Shreve's statement the 
property in Holland belonged to his wife, he died many years 
before her — she married and englishman named Eyre, by who 
she left no issue — by Aaronson she had seven sons. All of the 
sons were provided for by estates given to them in this country, 
one only excepted, to whom his mother conveyed her Dutch 
estates. Eyre was a widower with a family — shortly after his 
marriage he removed to Jersey, where he lost his wife — He was 
an expensive frolicsome sporting man, always spending but 
always having miney. The legal heirs of the mother made re- 
paeted application to get the papers of the estate out of his 
hands, which he declined giving up ; they supposed he heal on 
to them with a view of continuing to draw the proceeds of the 
estate in Holland, to which he was not entitled after the death 
of his wife. He generally made two trips yearly to New York, 
returning loaded with gold and silver, on the death of Eyre his 
two sons seized upon all his moveable property, each grasping 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 535 

all he could lay hands on. One of them obtained possession of 
a desk which he secreted in the barn, the building and its con- 
tents were a short time afterwards destroyed by fire — during 
the conflagration the person who had secreted the desk, was 
repeatedly heard to regret the fire on account of the immense 
loss in the papers of the Areson family that were in the desk. 
Repeated attempts have since been made to find testimony that 
would enable the family to get the property. A deed of the 
mother to her son is not upon record or at least it can not be 
found in the ofBce — Shreve spent several days in New York 
searching the records but could find nothing excepting Der- 
rick's will. During the revolution the family mansion on Long 
Island, was consumed by fire and with it everything, papers 
books and furniture. If the deed of the mother to her son, 
could be found it would reduce the number of heirs to less than 
fifty at the present they are over two hundred. The moment 
I began my inquiry I found claimants springing up all around 
me. The Hutchings family Pancoasts, Smiths, have been to see 
me, imagining that they at once were to be made people of 
fortune. I have encouraged them to make inquiries in hopes 
they may be able to procure some information. Mr. Smith has 
a certificate of a marriage of one of their family with the Are- 
sons, it is over seventy years standing and was procured by 
their father in consequence of the large fortune in Holland fall- 
ing to the family. They have heard of some papers in the 
possession of a queer old woman, which they have hopes of get- 
ting, but do not know what they relate to, but as she is a rela- 
tive they will endeavor to ferret her out. 

I have been in hopes of hearing from New York through 
my old friend Colonel I. B. Murray, he has promised to call and 
see me shortly. Murray has lately recovered a very large prop- 
erty in Ireland for a very poor family in Philadelphia. It was 
situated many years like the Aresons. Twenty five years ago 
Murray received a letter from Ireland requesting inquiry should 
be made after the family but to no effect, the family could not 
be found although numerous advertisements were issued. Hear- 
ing a short time since the name mentioned in Philadelphia he 
called on them traced the whole family recovered the property 
and got one half. With your approbation I should like to em- 
ploy him in this matter, as I think every thing will depend upon 
a strict search into the records in N. York and no man will do 
it more thoroughly than he. he has also extensive correspondence 
in Holland. Nothing can facilitate our enquiries more than the 
advertisement of the Dutch Minister. Perkins told mo he had 
a paper containing it. not one of the family here have one. The 
name of the woman through whom the estate is said to come is 
not certainly known to old Shreve — There is nobody else worth

enquiring- of — Peggy will copy the will I must be off for an 
hour or two. 

[Here follows a copy of the last will and testament of Dirick 
Areson of Flushing, deceased.] 

I feel uneasy about the box as Susan does not mention its 
arrival — the captain promised Mr Mac to have it immediately 
sent to your house and said he knew you — Dr. Osborne U. S. N. 
received trees by the same vessel and he knows the name of 
the Captain and boat — I shall write susan very soon — my love 
to all 

very truly and affectionately yours 
E. M. M. 

[Here the father follows with:] 
I wrote Smith a few days since relative to my jacks and re- 
quested him to be governed in the sale by your instructions — 
I wrote you also the next day — I think it decidedly the best to 
sell them at once unless there is almost an absolute certainty 
of their rising in value they have cost me much money and will 
continue to do so as long as I own them — they ought to bring 
me at this time what I ask exclusive of all charges incurred 
since the last Bill was paid. I leave the whole arrangement of 
the matter with you a longer credit with undoubted security 
would be no objection — I wish you would think well about em- 
ploying Murray. He is the most shrewd industrious smartest 
man I have ever known 

very truly yours

R. C. Coxe esq 

The writer is partially in error in his genealogical record, con- 
founding the marriage of George Eyre and Rebecca French, 
widow of Benjamin Shreve. Sarah Areson, widow of Caleb 
Shreve, never remarried. This is the best general account of 
affairs at that date that has been found and reflects credit on his 
diligence and perseverance. His activity and hopefulness stamp 
him as of the younger generation. His uncle, of greater expe- 
rience and maturer years, is in natural contrast. 

John Shreve, the eldest son of Col. Israel Shreve, was then 
living, at the age of seventy-four years, at Salem, Ohio. Rebecca 
Shreve. his half sister, eleven years younger, had married J. C. 
Blair, of Louisville, Ky. Benjamin Shreve, of Columbus, N. J., 
and John Shreve were cousins, grand children of Benjamin 
Shreve and Rebecca French. Their sisters were corresponding 
at the time and the Holland claim was an interesting topic of 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 537 

discussion between them. At the suggestion of Mr. Blair, Mr. 
John Shreve, in the interest of the pending investigation, writes 
his cousin Benjamin as follows : 

Near Salem Columbiana County May 12th 1834 Ohio. 
Dear Cousin — 

I received a letter a few days since from J. C. Blair of 
Louisvill Ky. dated 15th of last month enclosing an abstract 
of one from thy sister Grace dated 3rd Mo 23d last on the sub- 
ject of the Holland claim. She was informed by sister Rebecca 
Blair that my sister Keziah had the bible of our Grandfather 
containing a record of the age and birth also the Marriage of our 
forefathers &c. This was a mistake, the bible alluded to was one 
which belonged to my mother before she was married which 
only contained the record of our paticular family. I never seen 
the old bible alluded to, and Keziah informed me that she never 
saw it. Sister Keziah departed this life on the fourteenth day 
of the third month last aged sixty two years, nine months and 
ten days. 

I do not know of any papers whatever which will lead to a 
line of heritage from Derick Areson, down to the present gen- 
eration — Brother Wm. Ridgway informed me that at thy re- 
quest he had searched the Records of Burlington meeting but 
found nothing in proof — All that I ever knew respecting our 
claim to the estate was from what I heard thy father and my 
father say on the subject. I always understood that our forefa- 
ther Caleb Shreve was married to Sarah Areson in friends meet- 
ing on Long Island (or in New York) the impression is that it 
was at Jerico. 

I believe there were no records of marriage Certificates or of 
births & deaths kept by the society until within the last fifty 
years. But if the proceedings of Monthly Meeting can be 
found the fact may be known. 

I remember hearing our fathers say that our Grandfather Ben- 
jamin Shreve in his lifetime had collected all the necessary proof 
respecting the regular decent of heirship and of the claim of said 
estate, after his decease when our grandmother married George 
Eyre our fathers demanded those papers of George Eyre, who 
refused to give them up unless they would guarantee him one 
third of the estate unto his wife who was their mother — When 
George Eyre died the Desk and papers fel into the hands of 
his son Samuel Eyre of Burlington, our fathers also demanded 
the papers of him, he also refused to surrender them unless they 
would obligate themselves to give one third of said estate to 
Ann, the only child of Rebecca and George Eyre, they would 
not guarantee to her. After the decease of Samuel Eyre and his 



538 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

son George & Nathan divided the property, the dweUing house 
became the property of George and the Barn and Desk the 
property of Nathan after the division took place a misunder- 
standing took place between the brothers and Nathans property 
was put out in the street & he put them into the barn for the 
night before morning the barn and contents were consumed by 
fire. This conflagration took place since the revolutionary war. 
When this happened I heard my father say as the papers was said 
to be burnt, he thought it would be difficult to come to the 
proof of the heirship — Brother J. C. Blair thought it would be 
proper for me to open a correspondence with some one con- 
cerned with the business in New Jersey I thought proper to 
write to thee and communicate what has come to my knowledge. 
My health has not been good for several years past. I have 
not been able to attend to my particular business and have 
passed my time among my children, five of my sons are settled 
two of them Joseph and Thomas are practising Medicine, Israel 
George and Benjamin have farms which they are improving, 
Solomon has been several years mostly absent teaching school 
and improving himself in literature, at and below the falls of 
Ohio, he is now up on a visit to see me & his brothers & 
sisters; My daughters mary & Eliza lives with Joseph they 
are settled at Mount Union in Stark county eleven Miles West 
of Salem, Thomas is settled at Durifld in Portage County four- 
teen miles North West from Salem. 
My daughters and Solomon are single. 

I received a letter from thy Brother Thomas two or three weeks 
since on the Holland business he and family were well. Please 
accept my love and esteem, & give it to thy children and all my 
enquiring Relations and friends. 

I remain your affectionate Cousin

John Shreve was remarkably careful in the statement of truth 
and what he writes is perfectly reliable. 

General interest was now manifested among the descendants 
of Caleb Shreve and Grace Pancoast, warranting the employ- 
ment of an attorney to represent them, as suggested by Wm. 
W. Murkee and Caleb Perkins. Benjamin, Caleb and Reuben

jamin Caleb & Reuben are supposed and beleived to be the 
true owners of certain property now being and lying in Holland

compensation for his labour expense and responsibility to re- 
tain and reserve unto himself the one full and equal fourth part 
of whatsoever he may recover and receive of and from the said

Dear Sir 

I am an atorney of this place and have been employed by 
several persons in'^this state who are the descendants of Denck 



540 the: genealogy and history 

Ayreson to trace the heirs of said Derick downwards for the 
purpose of obtaining an estate in Amsterdam Holland belonging 
to you and to them. I am requested to say to you that what- 
ever expenses you have been at heretofore in this matter will 
be proportionally paid by the heirs here. The heirs here have 
determined to ferret out the whole of this matter and this letter 
is writteen to you prepartory to the obtaining the necessary 
proof of heirship in this country. I shall shortly visit. New Jer- 
sey on this business but before I proceed thither I wish to obtain 
from you all the knowledge and information you are in posses- 
sion of on this subject. 

We have the following idea of the course of the heirs running 
up — towit: Rebecca Bailey daughter of Jeremiah Shreve who 
was the son of William Shreve who was the son of Benjamin 
Shreve who was the son of Caleb Shreve and whose wife was the 
daughter of Derick Ayreson. Is this account correct? If so 
can you tell me first how many heirs Caleb Shreve had. Where 
they resided? and secondly how many heirs and their names 
had Benjamin and William Shreve? Do you know the name of 
Derick Ayresons wife? Did Derick Ayreson make a will? Is 
it recorded? If not recorded where is it and what are its con- 
tents? What was the name of the daughter of Ayreson that 
Caleb Shreve married? How far can you trace the line down- 
ward from Caleb Shreve and their several branches? Is there 
any record evidence in the United States of the marriage be- 
tween Ayresons daughter and Caleb Shreve or if not what can 
be presented of their marriage ? 

Will you answer this letter and these interogatories as soon as 
you can and remit to me all facts of which you may be in pos- 
session. 

I write this at the request of Mr. Beck and Mr. Bailey and 
many others who are anxious you will try and get all the in- 
formation and forward it here by letter previous to my going to 
New Jersey and they say if you will they will be at all ex- 
penses &c 

Respectfully Yours 
Mr. Benjamin Shreve Peter P. Lowe

It is said here that the estate belonging to you and the 
other heirs was about 14 years ago advertised in one of the 
Philadelphia papers — is this true? if so can you not obtain the 
advertisement?

OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 541 

A short time later Thomas Shreve, of Cincinnati O., com- 
municates information lately received from his counsin, Rebecca 
Blair, of Louisville, Ky., to his sister Grace Shreve, in New 
Jersey, as follows : 

Now about the Holland concern 

Cousin Rebecca appears as if she is enabled to throw some 
light on the subject — says she has heard her father talk about 
it very often, and as she understands it, our predecessor Shreve 
became acquainted with his after wife when he was at school, 
she being there from Holland, they became engaged and she re- 
turned home, her marriage was opposed by her parents, they not 
being willing that she should marry an Englishman that Derrick 
Ayreson told her if she married an Enlishman that he would dis- 
inherit her &c &c — but nevertheless she met him in a vessel at 
sea and they were married and came off to America and Derick 
and family followed after &c &c — then another item of informa- 
tion — She says there was a family came out from Holland a very 
short time before her father's death, indeed at the time of his last 
illness, he was too ill to have much conversaion with them — 
but that family brought letters to her father, that they claimed 
relationship, that the name of the woman that our progenitor 
married was Shodwell or Schodwell, they said there was a large 
estate in Holland belonging to the Shreve family — She says the 
family above mentioned are still living in the neighborhood where 
they then resided, she says if when Cousin Henry comes home 
if it should be thought best she will go up into that neighbor- 
hood and visit those people and also to look after the old Bible 
&c &c she appeared to be in earnest but as Cousin Henry and 
Brothers have had an interview at Washington perhaps they are 
already in possession of all I have herein mentioned if they are 
not thee will give it to them immediately — I should like to have 
written to each of them as I could not well do that I thought 
I would write to thee, and thee could spread the concern as 
necessity would require — It has now been a long time since we 
have had information from Jersey and I am particularly anxious 
to hear if any new light has broken upon our dark affair. 

The "Cousin Henry" mentioned was Captain Henry M. Shreve 
of St. Louis, Mo., a man of much prominence and great business 
enterprise, at one time holding an extensive contract with the 
government for clearing the raft from Red River and in honor 
of whom Shreveport, La., was named. 

Interest among the heirs continued to spread. On Oct. 31st, 
1835, seventeen in number assembled at the house of Jonathan 



542 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

Crews in Damascus, Ohio, and held a formal meeting, electing 
Joseph W. White Chairman, and John Negus Secretary. The 
following are the minutes of their proceedings : 

At a meeting of some of the heirs of Derrick or Richard Aron- 
son deed convened at the house of Jonathan Crews, Damascus, 
Columbiana Cg. Ohio, loth Mo. 31st 1835, Joseph W. White 
was called to the chair and John Negus chosen secretary. 

Whereas Derrick or Richard Aronson formerly of Amster- 
dam Holland late of Long Island, State of New York deed, 
having been possessed of considerable real estate in Holland 
which by will he left to his heirs, who having never applied it 
has not been obtained 

Therefore we of the present meeting being a part of the 
legal heirs and descendants of the said Aronson have convened 
and do hereby organize ourselves for the purpose of investi- 
gating (in conjunction with the heirs in other districts) the cir- 
cumstances of said estate with a view to ascertain the practica- 
biHty of obtaining it, seeing it has been reported we believe 
from authentic information that the just and equitable prin- 
ciples of the Government of Holland are such that they are still 
disposed to pay it over to the heirs when legally applied for. 

After a free discussion and full expression of sentiment the 
following resolutions were adopted. 

Resolved that the secretary be authorized to give information 
by transmitting a copy of our proceedings to Thomas Shreve 
Cincinnati ; Joel Woolman near Philadelphia & Benj Shreve & 
Ralph Shreve N. Jersey. 

Resolved that it is the desire and united sense of the present 
meeting that the said heirs hold a similar meeting or meetings, 
and to appoint one or more delegates to attend a general con- 
vention of the heirs on the subject to meet on the ist 2nd day 
in the 4th Month next at 10 o'clock at the publick house called 
Congress Hall Philad. and that such meeting or meetings give 
us the information if (or otherwise) they unite with the measure 
by the ist of 2nd Month next. 

Resolved that Aaron Arenson Woolman, John Negus and 
Solomon Shreve be appointed delegates to attend said conven- 
tion charged with the interest of this concern. 

Resolved that Saml. Woolman, West Negus Jos. W. White, 
Solomon Shreve and Nathan White be appointed to make inquiry 
collect and produce to next meeting all the authentic information 
they can obtain relative to said estate that they also be directed 
to produce a lineage of heirship of the present meeting and other 
heirs who may reside in this section of country. 

Resolved that Saml. Woolman he appointed treasurer and 



I 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 543 

to receive contributions to defray the expenses that may ac- 
crue on the present concern. 

Resolved that the names of the members (17 in number) that 
compose the present meeting be retained upon our minutes. 

Resolved that the chairman and secretary sign the proceedings 
of the meeting. 

Adjourned to meet again at this place the 3d 7th day in the 
2nd Mo. next at the loth hour if so permitted 

JOSEPH W. WHITE 
JOHN NEGUS Secty. President. 

No record of the subsequent meeting appointed for the same 
place has been found. Local meetings were held as recom- 
mended to appoint delegates to attend the general meeting of 
heirs at Congress Hall, Philadelphia, the first Monday in April, 
1836. Before the appointed time Benjamin Shreve, of Salem, 
Mass., introduces the subject to Benjamin Shreve, of Columbus, 
N. J.: 

Salem Massachusetts December 28th 1835 
Dear Cousin. 

On the 13th day of July fourteen years ago I had the 
pleasure of making your acquaintance upon my returning home 
from a journey to Philadelphia, having my wife in company, 
traveling in a chaise and of dining with you at the homestead 
of our paternal ancestors, as far back as our great grand father. 

I am thus particular that you bring to recollection our visit. 
My father was your uncle Benjamin, who died in Alexandria 
District of Columbia the i8th of November 1801. Your bro- 
thers Caleb, Reuben and Thomas and sister Grace I knew dur- 
ing their residence at that place. 

There remain of my fathers family my brother Samuel at Alex- 
andria and myself. My brother Isaac died in this place on the 
4th of September 1829. He left five sons and six daugiitcrs 
but no property since I was at your house I have been one 
voyage as super cargo to Canton and two voyages in a vessel 
of my own to the West Indies and Europe, and last, as a super- 
cargo to Batavia from which voyage I returned home in April 
of last year. 

I have had various success — the last was quite a losing voyage 
for I was one fourth interested in the cargo, so that my means 
are rather moderate, but I trust that I have enough using great 
economy to carry myself and wife through life comfortably. 

At present I am not engaged in any business and it is rather 
uncertain whether I shall embark in business or endeavor to 
be content with what I have, at any rate I shall wait and see 



544 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

how our affairs with France shall be settled. I sincerely pray 
that we shall not have war. 

When I was at your house I made some memorandum re- 
specting our family from our grandfathers bible in your posses- 
sion which I find are not so perfect as I could wish : I have there- 
fore written this letter principally to desire you to transcribe what 
is therein recorded respecting our family vis an account of our 
grandfathers birth and parentage — and the list of the names — 
time of birth and decease of his children ; and please give me 
any further information in your possession respecting our fam- 
ily as far back as possible. 

I wish you to write me as soon as you can and send your let- 
ter by mail — directing to me in Salem, Massachusetts. 

I have seen a letter from Alexandria giving an account of an 
advertisement by the Dutch Government or some other au- 
thority — calling upon the legal heirs to an estate in Holland 
to make their claims — and that that property was supposed to 
belong to a part of the Shreve family in New Jersey — and more- 
over from certain old papers brought to light there was reason to 
suppose that ours is that branch of the family entitled to said 
estate ; and that your brother Reuben had employed a lawyer in 
Washington to investigate the business. 

I wish you to inform me in what paper and of what date that 
advertisement was published, if it be an American newspaper 
I may probably be able to find it in this place or Boston among 
the files of our insurance offices or printers ; but if it was pub- 
lished in a foreign paper you can probably send me a copy of 
the advertisement and any other information in your possession 
on the subject will be acceptable. 

Should there be any well founded expectation of or claim to 
any property in Europe, or elsewhere, belonging to our family 
it is of the first importance that all persons interested should 
join in the attempt to obtain it : for how can a part of the num- 
ber expect to receive it without authority from the others. 

When I was quite young our uncle William was at Alex- 
andria on a visit to my father and the impression on my mind is 
that he was then a widower or a bachelor — whether he left chil- 
dren or not I never knew — please inform me on this subject. 

I am advised that you have now attained to such an ad- 
vanced age — about seventy six I think — as to make it irksome 
for you to write in that case please request one of your sons 
or daughters to write to me in answer to this in your behalf. 
Please remember me affectionately to your brothers and sister 
Grace (and Rebecca if living.) 

I am happy to understand that your brother Thomas and fam- 
ily did well to move to Cincinnati but I have not heard any thing

The writer evidently had heard from his brother. Samuel B. 
Shreve, of Alexandria, Va., of the authority given Mr. Coxe, and 
is not quite in harmony with them in the arrangement. Samuel 
B. Shreve had been trying to ascertain the character of the es- 
tate through the U. S. Consul at Amsterdam, whom he had twice 
written— once on June 3d, 1832. Peter P. Lowe, of Dayton, 
Ohio, after writing in June, 1834, Benjamin Shreve, of Columbus, 
and probably securing from him such information as he pos- 
sessed, wrote Jan. 29th, 1835, John W. Parker, U. S. Consul 
at Amsterdam. The receipt of his letter was acknowledged Dec. 
30th, 1835, as follows : 

Amsterdam Dec. 30th 1835 
Peter P. Lowe Esq. 
Attorney at Law 
Dayton, Ohio. 
Sir. I was favored some time since with your letter of 29th 
January. 

There is no doubt in my mind that in case the estate of Ayre- 
son existed in Amsterdam that the names mentioned by you are 
incorrect. No persons of the name of Shreve or Ayreson can 
be found — the great point is that the name of the Testator is 
written correct, without this nothing can be done. I have 
searched for days and weeks in order to find something relative 
to the property in question, but all in vain. I would therefore 
recommend you to look for the advertisements in the Philadel- 
phia papers which may perhaps throw some light on the busi- 
ness. I am very willing to be of service to yourself and friends 
but without some solid proofs I can do nothing. I received dif- 
ferent letters from a Mr. S. B. Shreve of Alexandria on the 
same subject, one of which I enclose herewith as it may be of 
service to you 

Your obt St 

JOHN PARKER 
N. B. The family coat of arms would be of service to ascer- 
tain the name of the testator. 



546 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

The consul states the difficulties that attend the investigation 
there and impresses the fact that "solid proof" must be presented 
and the name of the testator "must be written correct." He en- 
closes the letter written him June 3d 1832, by S. B. Shreve. His 
reply to Mr. Shreve was likely of the same character as the one 
to Mr, Lowe. 

March nth, 1836, replying to the letter of Dec. 28th previous, 
Benjamin Shreve, of Columbus, N. J., wrote Benjamin Shreve, 
of Salem, Alass., as follows : 

Mt Pleasant Mansfield March 11 1836 
Esteemed Cousin 

I have the pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of thy letter 
of the i8th of December in which thee requests me to give thee 
a memorandum of our forefathers and relatives. I shall first be- 
gin with my great-grandfather Caleb Shreve's will dated the 
fifth day of April 1735. 

Item I give and bequeath to my dearly beloved wife Sarah 
Shreve one third part of my moveables or personal estate to 
her heirs and assigns forever. One third of my real estate 
with the best room in my dwelling house & what benefit she 
needeth in the kitchen or cellar during her life if she continue 
my widow but if she marries after my death then she shall have 
no title or claim either to my house or any part of my real es- 
tate. Item I give and bequeath unto my eldest son Thomas 
Shreve five shillings it compleating his portion. I give and 
bequeath unto my son Joshua Shreve it compleating his portion. 
Item I give and bequeath unto my son Joseph Shreve five shil- 
lings it compleating his portion. Item I give and bequeath unto 
My son Caleb Shreve five it compleating his portion. Item 
I give and bequeath unto my son Jonathan Shreve 
five shillings it compleating his portion. Item I give 
unto my son David Shreve one good cow it com- 
pleating his portion. Item I give and bequeath unto my son- 
in-law Benjamin Scattergood five shillings it compleating his 
portion. Item I give unto my daughter Mary Gibbs five shil- 
lings it compleating her portion. I give and bequeath unto my 
daughter Sarah Ogburne five shillings it compleating her por- 
tion. Item I give and bequeath unto my grand daughter Sarah 
Shreve daughter of my son Joshua Shreve one good feather 
bed with all its furniture two good cows one young mare one 
iron pot which I bought at Preserve Brown's vendue, one large 
pewter basin which I have with a broad brim six spoons & six 
pewter plates to be given her when or as soon as she shall be 
eighteen years of age. Item I give to my well beloved son 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 547 

Benjamin Shreve whom I likewise constitute make and ordain 
my sole executor of this my last will and testament all and 
singular my lands messuages and tenements by him freely to be 
possessed and enjoyed his heirs and assigns forever. 

Thee request me to give thee some information concerning 
an advertisement concerning the Holland fortune. All I can in- 
form thee concerning it is that Rebecca Perkins came to my 
house I think it was 15 years last January and brought a news- 
paper which she read and said it was for the heirs of the Hol- 
land fortune to come and prove their right. At that time I was 
confined to my bed not being able to sit up. My wife at the 
same time ill, so there was no attention paid to it, as I under- 
stood that the papers concerning the property were destroyed. 

As for Uncle William he had five children which have left heirs 
3 sons and 2 daughters. 

Our relations from the west have sent us an invitation to meet 
them at Congress Hall in Philadelphia on the first second day 
in April next which we have accepted, concerning Derrick Are- 
son's will to try if they can raise funds to send some person to 
Holland to examine the records and see if anything can be found 
in our favour and what proof will be necessary, tf thee can at- 
tend at that time and place I think thee would be as good a per- 
son as we could get to go and search in Holland. It has always 
been said that Sarah Shreve's grandmother left her a large for- 
tune in Amsterdam. 

If it will be convenient for thee to attend and bring thv wife 
to see her relatives as far as my house, while we go to Phila- 
delphia I shall be very much obliged

A copy of the minutes of this meeting- and also the follow- 
ing memoranda were found in the desk of Captain John Shreve, 
Salem, O. A copy of the minutes of the same meeting were 
found in Mt. Holly, N. J. The subscription list of the same date 
as the meeting at Columbus was found also at Mt. Holly, but 
not in the possession of Capt. John Shreve. The minutes and 
memoranda were probably sent, the latter immediately after 
the Philadelphia meeting, with the object of interesting those 
in Ohio in contributing to the proposed fund. None of their 
names appear on the list of subsequent subscribers. 



The estate looked after by the Heirs of Caleb and Sarah 
(Arison) Shreve is said to have been Willed (to her) by her 
Grand Mother whose name was Orey Orey Orry to her Grand 
Daughter Sarah Shreve Wife of Caleb Shreve (formerly Ari- 
son) and daughter of Derrick. But of this it is thought doubtful 
to prove. 

Benjamin Shreve now of Salem Massachusetts son of the late 
Benjamin Shreve of Alexandria Virginia is spoken of as a suit- 
able person to be sent to Holland as Agent for the Heirs he be- 
ing a seafaring man and acquainted with business. 

To defray the expense of the Agent the Convention of the 
heirs who met in Philad. 4th of 4th Mo. 1836 decreed that eacli 
family of the 4th Generation ought to pay $25.00 and each fam- 
ily of the 5th Generation to pay $5.00 and if any who pays 
and cannot prove themselves to be legal heirs, the amount thus 
paid shall be returned to them. 

A subscription by the Heirs of Derick Areson and Sarah his 
Wife, late of Long Island and State of New York deceased for 
raising money to imploy an Agent or Agents to go to Holland 
to envestigate the claims to, and if practicable to obtain an es- 
tate there due the said Heirs, to be legally divided amongst 
them. It is also the meaning and conditions of the within sub- 
scription that if any of the subscribers hereto, shall fail to prove 
their legal right to a proportion of said estate that the sum they 
have paid shall be refunded to them, in full. Thus according to 
the above terms we the subscribers agree to pay the sum an- 
nexed to our names. 



Before the next appointed meeting occurred Samuel B. 
Shreve, of Alexandria, having received a letter from Rebecca 
Bailey, of Centreville, Ohio, wrote his cousin Benjamin Shrove, 
of Columbus, as follows : 



550 THE GENEAL,OGY AND HISTORY 

Alexandria 7 Mo 5th 1836 
Cousin Benjamin Shreve 

I have for a length of time thought of writing to thee but 
have invariably put it off and had nearly given it up all thoughts 
of doing so until I received a letter from a relation in Ohio by 
the name of Rebecca Bailey I herewith transcribe a copy of 
said letter. Centerville Montgomery County Ohio 17th of June 
1836 having recently received a letter from John W. Parker 
American Consul at Amsterdam in relation to a legacy said to 
be there and belonging to certain persons in the United States 
of your name I thought it might be of some service to give you 
all the information I can concerning it and for which purpose 
I here give a copy of the consul's letter in his own words — 
Amsterdam December 30th 1835. 
Peter P. Lowe esq Attorney at Law Dayton Ohio 
I was favored some time since with your letter of the 29th of 
January. There is no doubt in my mind that in case the estate 
of Ayreson existed in Amsterdam that the names mentioned by 
you are incorrect. No persons by the name of Shreve 
or Ayreson can be found the grate point is that the name of 
the testator is written correct, without this nothing can be 
done. I have searched for day and weeks in order to find some- 
thing relative to the property in question, but all in vain I would 
therefore recommend you to look for the advertisements in 
the Philadelphia papers which may perhaps throw some light 
on the business I am writing to be of service to yourself and 
friends but without some sollid proof I can do nothing I received 
different letters of Samuel B. Shreve of Alexandria on the same 
subject, they family coat of arms woyld be of service to ascertain 
the name of the testator yours respectfully John W. Parker 
That you may know the reason why I write to you on this 
subject your Grandfather Benjamin Shreve was my Create 
Grandfather and Colonel William Shreve his son was my Grand- 
father and his son Jeremiah Warder was my father. If you 
have had any further information from any source I should be 
glad you would communicate it to me it is at least an agree- 
able thing to me to hear from my friends and relation when 
opportunity may serve. If the marriage cirtfficate, the family 
coat of arms and the deed can be obtained and the Amsterdam 
record examined by the face of those documents if ever a rec- 
ord was made of any of them we believe that there coud not 
exist any difficulty in substantiating our clame we here are 
informed that the government of Holland will not liquidate this 
and such like claims unless first it is publicably advertised in 
the gazetts of this country a reasonably length of time for all 
the heirs to meet at a certain place on a given day and present 
their clames and those who does not attend at or within that 



OF THE SHREVE FAMII.Y. 551 

specified time to be forever deprived ever after, the claimants 
thus Identifyed Vv^ill be forwarded as to received ther dividends 
and the government of Holland w^ill thereby be secured agains 
any after claims and justified in given they amount in demand. 
Inquire whether a will was made and if so wether it was re- 
corded and also wether the deed was recorded and if they are 
we would like to know where If you will be so good to write 
to me direct your letter to John Bailey & deare cousin except 
of the cincer wishes of yours & Rebecca Bailey. Now as the 
subject of this letter is the business that I wished information 
on and having been informed by cousin Samuel Shreve and 
Caleb Perkins of Montgomery County Maryland that thee had 
none of the family papers and records than any one of the 
family I will be much obliged to thee if thee will give me all 
the information on the subject thee can wether thee is in pos- 
session of the will or the deed of the property said to be in 
Holland whose name they are recorded in and if thee has one 
or more of the advertisement will thee be so good as to let me 
know the name and the date of the paper and who it was 
printed by I see the one Calep Perkins had but did not take 
a coppy it appears by the Consuls letter that it is necessary to 
have them and be very particular in names and dates. 

My Brother Benjamin Shreve thinks that the account we had 
is incorrect as some of the names does not agree with the family 
records which he has in possession my Nephew Benjamin Shreve 
informed by letter that he met with thee on his return from 
maken us a visit and conversed with thee on the subject of the 
claim and that the appeared to think it would be recovered, 
niw I think if there is any possibility of getting it we had bet- 
ter unite in our endeavors to affect that purpose as in unity 
there is strangth. 

If thee does not know who I am thee can make any inquiry 
of thy sister Grace Shreve who will give thee any information on 
the subject and to whome my wife and self desires to be most 
affectionately remembered. I remain thy Cousin 

Samuel B. Shreve. 
To Benjamin Shreve. 

I called on lawyer Cox in Washington Citty some weeks ago 
see how he came on with the clame he told me he had nothing 
to dow with it but did not say wheter the businee was taken from 
or wether he gave it up. please write to me on the reception 
of this I intend to reply to Rebecca Bayley as soon as I heare 
from thee.

I take this method to inform you that I wish you to make 
further inquiries and serch for the wills of the Grandmother and 
Aunt who is the grantors of the estate willed (as their name is 
not recollected at this time by me) to Sarah Areson who mar- 
ried Caleb Shreve it is expected the wills was taken between the 
year 1660 and 1700 and by examining the wills of the Wooman 
it will be seen if there is any legatee of the above names, it 
has allway been represented it was in real estate and for the 
want of an heir at was sold and put in the orphant fund for the 
benefit of the heirs the property is a large amount in the city 
of Amsterdam.

********* * * 

as for what Parker has written upon the subject, we consider 
of little importance, and feel no ways discouraged by what he 
says as we consider his informant did not know himself conse- 
quently could not tell him how and where to look, so if thee 
should write again to Parker request him to look for the will 
of Ore Ore (or some such name as perhaps we do not spell the 
name right we do not understand the language) who we have 
been told left the property to our great grand mother whose 
name was Sarah the daughter of Derick Ayreson and either be- 
fore or after the bequeath was the wife of our great grand fa- 
ther Caleb Shreve the date of the above alluded to will is sup- 
posed to be somewhere between the years 1670 and 1683 and it 
is said there was another gift to our great grandmother by an 
aunt of hers somewhere about the same time whose name has 
not been handed down to us. as the above bequeaths were 
never called for by the heirs we have been informed by our 
predecessors that the property was realised by the authorities of 
Holland or Amsterdam and placed in the orphans funds some- 
where about twenty, thirty or forty years afterwards so if 
thou art interested to write to Parker again this may give him 
a clew for investigation and if he can make any discoveries — ad- 
vantageous for us he shall certainly be liberally rewarded for 
his trouble please inform us of the result.

ing appear to be copies of letters either sent or expected to be 
sent by the writer to Samuel B. Shreve of Alexandria or Rebecca 
Bailey, of Centreville, O., who had been communicatino- with 
the Consul Parker. They were evidently made in 1834 to 1837. 
Rebecca Bailey and Air. Lowe were evidently unaware of the 
measures on foot by Eastern descendants and were ignorantly 
and innocently investigating independently. July i8th, 1836, the 
meeting at Columbus, N. J., was held as arranged. The follow- 
ing are the minutes of the proceedings. They are unsigned. 

At an adjourned meeting of the heirs of Derick Arcson of 
Flushing Long Island deceased, at the house of Isaac Johnson 
in the village of Columbus I^eni)en Shreve was appointed 
chairman and James C. Blair and Ralph Shreve Secretaries. 

On motion of John Aaronson it was resolved that five per- 
sons, viz. : Caleb Shreve of Manayunk John Aaronson, James C. 
Blair, Ralph H. Shreve & Peter Shreve be constituted a com- 
mittee to draft resolutions and after retiring a few moments 
reported the following. 

Whereas it has been represented for several generations past 
that a sum of money has been left in Holland to the Shreve and 
Aaronson family it is 

Resolved That five persons viz Reuben Shreve Benj. Shreve 
of Mansfield Benj. Shreve of Salem John Aaronson Caleb Shreve 
of jManayunk be appointed a Committee to employ one or more 
persons to ascertain through an agent in Amsterdam if any 
property now remains in Holland belonging to either of the 
above named families and inform the committee as to the re- 
sult 

Resolved that 200 dollars be raised for the purpose of defray- 
ing the expenses of said inquiry. 

Resolved That Benj. Shreve, Salem, Mass., be appointed 
Treasurer and empowered by this meeting to pay all expenses 
incurred by said agent and his receipts shall be sufficient vouch- 
ers for the same and they shall be approved by the committee of 
five 

On motion of the chairman the meeting then proceeded to 
raise the funds agreeably to the foregoing resolutions when 
the following persons subscribed and paid the sums opposite 
each of their names amounting to $ which sum was then 

placed in the hands of Benj. Shreve of Salem Treasurer for the 
purposes intended by the meeting as specified in the foregoing 
proceedings. 

On motion it was resolved that this meeting adjourn to meet 



554 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

at Bordentown on the first second day of the 12th month next at 
the house of Mrs. Longstreth. 

Resolved that the chairman and secretary sign the proceed- 
ings, .i 

Of the same date is found the following unsigned memoran- 
dum :

eighteenth day of July in the year eighteen hundred theirty six

allowed and permitted as a full and entire compensation for his 
labors, expenses and responsibility to retain and reserve to him- 
self the one full and equal half part of whatever he may recover

Columbus, N. J., i8th July, 1836. 

The minutes of the Columbus meeting and the agreement, 
also the list of heirs, are evidently copies of original papers made 
on the i8th of July, 1836. The transcriber omitted signatures, 
and it appears erroneously designated, "Benj. Shreve of Burling- 
ton County, New Jersey," as the authorized agent, instead of 
Benjamin Shreve of Salem, Alass. The "list of Benjamin Shreve 
and heares" include the names of the children of Benjamin 
Shreve and Rebecca French, all of whom were many years de- 
ceased, with the number of children each of them had that mar- 
ried and had issue, thirty-six altogether, some of whom were 
living. The heirs that held the meeting at Columbus and rais- 
ed the funds, were mostly, if not altogether, of this branch. The 
names of most of the descendants that took part in the meeting 



556 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

at Congress Hall are not among- them. Sarah Areson had 
made her youngest son, Benjamin, sole heir to her estate by 
the following instrument dated February 28th, 1740: 

Know all men by these presents that I Sarah Shreve of Mans- 
field in the County of Burlington in the province of West New 
Jersey widow, for and in consideration of a certain bond given 
me bearing date with these presents recourse thereunto had will 
more at large appear by Benjamin Shreve of the same place mer- 
chant, whereof I do hereby acknowledge myself therewith fully 
and entirely satisfied have bargained, sold, set over and delivered 
and by these presents in plain and open market according to the 
just and due form of the law in that case made and provided do 
bargain, set over and deliver unto the said Benjamin Shreve all 
my right, title and interest of the lands, tenements and heredita- 
ments. And also my right, title and interest of the moveable 
estate given me by late husband, Caleb Shreve, deceased in his 
last will and testament. To have and to hold the said bargain-

and administrator the said bargained premises unto the said 
Benjamin Shreve his executors administrators and assigns

Benjamin Shreve of Salem, Mass., was not remiss in com- 
sncing the investigation. 

Sept. 1st, 1836, Samuel B. Shreve advised Rebecca Bailey to

directly address Benjamin Shreve of Columbus for information, 
which she did May loth following. 

No record is found of the business transacted December 2d, 
1836, at the meeting appointed at the house of Mrs. Longstreth 
in Bordentown, N. J. 

Joseph W. White of Medina, O., chairman of the meeting at 
Damascus, October, 1835, wrote to his cousins, Alary Hender- 
son and Eliza Reeder (grand children of Mercy Shreve and 
James White), who were pioneer settlers in Greene County, 111., 
in 1818. Their whereabouts had but recently been discovered 
by the Ohio descendants, who were then much interested in the 
investigation. 

Medina Medina Co Ohio May 3, 1837. 
Respected Cousins 

Yours of the 23d March was duly received and gave much 
pleasure to hear directly from one who not only from the ties 
of consanguinity would be more or less interesting, but, who 
when after the lapse of nearly forty years, fond memory calls 
up the recollection of personal acquaintance and esteem in early 
childhood, must, under such circumstances be doubly pleasing 
and interesting. 

You will please excuse the partial delay manifested in an- 
swering your letter, as I have been perambulating the country 
a considerable distance from home a great portion of the time 
since the receipt of your favor. With regard to the great estate 
you enquire alDOut I will now state so far as my knowledge ex- 
tends, from which you will find you labored somewhat in error 
with regard to the origin of it, place, and some other minor items. 

The estate (if any) lies in Amsterdam (Holland) — not Ger- 
many. 

About the year 1680, one Direck Areson, or Arison, emigrated 
from Amsterdam to New York City — then called New Amster- 
dam — as it was settled principally by Hollanders, or Low Dutch. 
Derick (or Richard in English) was a quaker, and come to this 
country on account of the persecution against that sect in Hol- 
land, at that time. Sometime after his residence in this country, 
his wife's' mother, residing in Amsterdam, died, and left, by will, 
all her large property in that city, to said Arison. This property 
consisted, as far as I can learn of a square of buildings in Am- 
sterdam city, numbering 18 — and five stories high, which was 
after some lapse of time, sold by that government for seven mil- 
lion dollars, and funded in the bank of Holland at 3 per cent in- 
terest ever since. Said Areson was preparing to go to .Amster- 
dam for his legacy when he was unfortunately kicked by his 



558 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

horse, of which injury he died in three days time. Previous, 
however, to his death, he made a will and left this estate to his 
two children (all he had), which consisted of a son and daughter 
named John and Sarah Arison. He willed it equally to them. 
This will has been found of late, by one Ralph Shreeve, recorded 
in the city of New York. Sarah Arison, aforesaid, married one 
Caleb Shreve (another Hollander) of whom nearly or quite all 
sprang that bear that name in the U. States at this time. We 
are of the Shreve lineage, as our grand mother Mercy Whites 
maiden name was Shreve. This constitutes us as legal heirs. 
The first intimation I received of the affair was a year ago last 
October to attend a meeting of a number of the heirs, 50 or 60 
miles east of this place. I attended, and was appointed chair- 
man of the meeting, and one of a committee to ascertain the 
names and number of heirs in the western country. I have 
been extremely anxious ever since to find you out. There has 
been several meetings, since, the above period on the subject, 
one in Philadelphia and some in New Jersey. I have correct 
information, that at one meeting the sum of $200.00 was made 
up to bear the expenses of an agent, who started for Europe 
last August or Sept by the name of Capt. Benjamin Shreve, of 
Salem Massachusetts. He went in order to ascertain certainty 
and nature of the affair. It is probable something will be heard 
on the subject before long. If so I will advise you of it. I 
place no particular reliance on anything from that source, how- 
ever, until something further is heard. You had better inform 
me of the names of those four heirs of the family of Uncle Thom- 
as White. I am glad to hear of your large family and pros- 
perity. I was married in Beaver Pa 3d January 1810 to a Dutch 
girl by the name of Polly Reisinger. ^We have had ii children 
3 of whom died in infancy. We have" now 8 children, 4 sons 
and 4 daughters. My oldest son Madison H. White is married 
and has 3 children. My oldest daughter Lavinia has been mar- 
ried almost a year to a physician by name of Alexander Beatty. 
They live in this place. My 3 oldest sons are printers. My 
second son, Washington, has lately started a newspaper in Mas- 
sillon about 35 miles from here. He will probably change his 
single life shortly. My third son is called Thomas Jefferson, 
(he lives with me,) and my fourth son 10 years old I call Charles 
after his mothers brother. 

You will be ready to infer that I am a Democrat by the names 
of my 3 oldest sons. My father died in April 1825 aged 75 
years. My mother is living with me in good health but a crip- 
ple, not being able to stand on account of getting her thigh 
broke some eighteen months ago. She is "jy years old. Uncle 
Robert White died in the fall of 183 1, about 40 miles east of this. 
His widow and children are living in and about the place where 



OF THB SHREVE FAMILY. 559 

he died. They have 2 sons and one daughter married. They 
are all quakers. My other daughters names are Teresa aged 
in her 17th year, and Polly in her 9th and Elizabeth (youngest) 
in her 5th year. I have lived in this place 5 years, and followed 
the printing business 4>4 years. On the 26th last January I 
had the misfortune to have my printing office destroyed by fire ; 
but saved the greater part of my materials. I am now endeav- 
oring to collect my scattered debts, which I find to be much 
worse than earning them. I am well pleased with the descrip- 
tion you give of your country but cannot give any particular en- 
couragement about moving there. I am in my 49th year, and 
therefore have lost that relish for change of residence that I own 
to have formerly possessed. I have through much tribulation 
gathered up real estate to about $3,000, besides some personal 
and it is not so easy "pulling up stakes" to go elsewhere. My 
son-in-law, however, is determined, after some time, to go to 
either Indiana or Illinois, and my oldest son is going to the 
western part of this State. It may be possible that should my 
children aim westward, I might incline to follow ; and your 
section of country would without doubt claim my attention, not 
only from soil and climate, but considerations of relatives. Please 
write shortly, and as we have an extremely backward season 
here, I would be glad were you to give a particular description 
of your climate, prices of produce facilities of mills water power, 
&c. together with your most flourishing towns and villages, and 
whether there are desirable openings for the printing business 
with the morals of society, &c. It may be among the possibili- 
ties for you to receive a visit from me this summer or autumn. 
Please accept the love of myself and family to you and your 
family. We are well and desire that this may find all your fam- 
ily & connections in good health. With affectionate esteem I 
remain your loving cousin JOSEPH W. WHITE.

wardness your forest trees are on the 3d day of May as here the 
green tints of budding is but making its appearance.

ed I will see to it and apprize you.

560 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

Letter from Rebekah Bailey to Benj. Shreve. 

Centre ville Montgomery County State of Ohio May loth 1837. 
Mr. Benj Shreve 

Dear Cousin Having received a letter from cousin Samuel 
B. Shreve of Alexandria dated 9th mo. ist 1836 containing 
some information respecting the Holland claim and a request 
to write you any information that I might have obtained on 
that subject &c. I have received a letter from the United 
States Consul at Amsterdam dated Oct. 22d 1834 stating that 
he had used his best exertions for some time in searching the 
records there, and says that the name of Derick Ayreson is not 
to be found on any of the Dutch Records, I have since been in- 
formed that the proper name is Arenson. The Consul further 
states that perhaps the estate in question was owned in another 
name, and there may be other facts necessary to attend to even 
to spelling names to a single letter the Consul also states the 
precise plan on which to procede which if effected cannot fail of 
success, towit he says at all events it will be necessary to trans- 
mit to him a particular description of the property, and proof 
of ownership. Likewise that the claimants are lawful descen- 
dants of the donor which he says cannot be done there, and 
again I will give you the information contained in a letter from 
the Consul dated Dec. 30th 1835 It is as follows viz 

[Here follows an exact copy of the letter from John W. Par- 
ker to Peter P. Lowe.] 

You have the Genealogy of the family and with this excep- 
tion the following is the contents Mr. Shreve states to the 
Consul that he is not in possession of any of the Philadelphia 
papers but that he well recollects to have seen and read them 
and that the advertisement concerning the estate in question 
corresponded precisely with the information handed down by 
the descendants of the family Mr Shreve informs the consul 
that you have in possession the Marriage Certificate of Caleb 
Shreve and Sarah Ayreson, the Areyson Coat of Arms and also 
a deed of the property which she gave to her youngest son 
Benjamin, he further states to the Consul that while his grand 
father was making preparations to go on to take possession of 
the property his horse kicked him in the breast which occasioned 
his death in a short time He furthermore states that it ap- 
pears that the estate was left by one Ore Orien to our great 
grand mother whose name was Sarah the daughter of Derick 
Aryson and whether before or after the bequest was the wife of 
our great grand father Caleb Shreve, the date of the above al- 
luded to is supposed to be some where between the years 1670 
& 1683. It is said there was another bequest to our grand

mother by an aunt of hers somewhere about the same time 
whose name has not been handed down to us and the estates 
having never been called for, it was realized by the Amsterdam 
authorities & placed in the orphans fund, he says he inquired of 
the Dutch Consul here whether an estate of so long standing 
could be obtained at this distant period and he answered that if 
it were 500 years it would be as easily obtained now as at first 
as it respected that particular; and again by information had 
from a lady who resided in Philadelphia at the time the estates 
being advertised She says she well recollects reading the ad- 
vertisements and were published in the following papers viz the 
Trenton Emporium True American (Trenton Federalist George 
Shereman editor) in or between the years 1820 1823 and 1825 
and that Philadelphia papers contained the same I am also 
informed that at the time of the death of your sister (her first 
name not recolected) one of those papers was there the time 
of her decease you may no doubt recollect My cousin Thos. 
Shreve of Cincinnati informed me that you were on board the 
Ship on which my father Jeremiah Shreve died and attended him 
in his last moments by this you will know my standing as it re- 
spects my relationship without any further representation I 
have now given you all the information I am in possession of at 
present and I hope that yovi will do me the favor of writing to 
me concerning the manner in which the business is progressing 
& also concerning your welfare in common &c at least this will 
have a tendency to cause a revival of our correspondence which 
might otherwise have slept in eternal silence. 
Yours affectionately

N. B. I am informed that every printing ofhce retains a 
paper of each kind for such like re-examination and if so by in- 
quiring at the above named offices and some of those in the

tisements is inserted. 

I have the pleasure of stating to you that there is a verv' effi-

upon embark in the business if sufficient pecuniary aid be placed 
in his hands to support him until he returns & of his honesty 
and fidelity there is no doubt providing you would prefer it so, 
of this vou can give me information in your answer to this 

R. B. 

Benjamin Shreve, of Salem, Mass., the duly authorized agent, 
was in his fifty-sixth year, a man of probity and wide business 
experience. His commercial transactions in foreign countries 



562 THK GKNEAI^OGY AND HISTORY 

eminently fitted him for the work. The heirs could have selected 
no one better prepared to represent them. Within one week 
from his appointment he commenced the work by writing the 
firm of Hope & Co., Amsterdam, to which they replied April 20, 
1838, as follows : 

Benjamin Shreve Esq 
Salem, Mass. 

Amsterdam 20th April 1838. 
Sir 

Towards the close of 1836 we received your letter of July 26. 
and immediately placed the same in the hands of our professional 
advisor directing- him to make the requisite research concerning 
the property supposed to have been left in this country to your 
great grand mother Mrs. Sarah Shreve (Aareson) but we regret 
to inform you that his investigation led to no results on his 
decease in 1837 we transferred the business to his successor 
who has been equally unsuccessful he having consulted all the 
documents to which access could be obtained without discov- 
ering any clew to the supposed property 

Having carried our charge in this matter to the debt of 
Messrs Bunny Brothers & Co London we have merely to re- 
gret the inquiry has not given satisfactory result. 

Remain respectfully 

Sir Your obt Servant 

HOPE & CO. 

This communication was probably not received for three or 
four months after its date. A comparatively short time there- 
after, March 8th, 1839, Benjamin Shreve died at his home in 
Salem, Mass., with hardly sufHcient time intervening to com- 
mence further investigations, even if it were advisable. 

That the case had been placed in the charge of able and com- 
petent parties and all the facts known were at their disposal is 
not to be doubted. We can only infer why no clue could be 
obtained. No place in all the preceding correspondence has 
the "solid proof" and the "name of the estator written correct" 
referred to by the Consul, John W. Parker, been produced, al- 
though every united efifort was made in that direction. If they 
ever existed, they were destroyed in the fire following the divi- 
sion of the Eyres property by the two sons. 

Two years later an interest was revived among some of the 
descendants of Benj. Shreve and Rebecca French, residing in 
the then far West. The writer of the following letter was the 



OF THE SHREVE FAMII,Y. 563 

only son of Thomas Shreve of Cincinnati. He was aged thirty- 
two, living in Louisville, Ky, a power in politics, of high rank in 
literature and co-editor of the Louisville Courier Journal with 
Geo. D. Prentice. His father then resided in Cincinnati, aged 
seventy years, 

Louisville ist Mo. 6. 1840 
D. C 

A man by the name of C. Harpending who is prosecuting 
some researches among the old dutch records about N. York 
has informed Captain Shreve by letter of December that he 
has discovered by those records the name of Arenson and Shreve 
was connected with some property. I have just written to him 
requesting him to drop you a line informing you when you 
will find him and that thereupon you will meet him in New 
York. This Harpending is the man who is prosecuting the 
suite for the Trinity Church property in New York which he is 
likely to get — he is familiar with all the old records and can and 
will give any information you may ask of him. I know that 
you like myself are somewhat deficient in faith in this matter 
but notwithstanding this I hope you will go to New York and 
learn all that is to be known in relation to it. 

THOMAS H. SHREVE. 

This completes the most accurate account obtained at this 
time of the first and most extensive investigation in a systematic 
manner by descendants in united action. 

We have seen that the knowledge of this expected estate in 
Amsterdam — ^whether of large or small proportions — was at one 
time confined to Derick Areson — who died on Long Island in 
1678, about the time his daughter married Caleb Shreve. Why 
Caleb Shreve, her husband, did not at once follow up the claim 
is unknown, as he was a man of perhaps more than ordinary 
business capacity for the times in which he lived. All interest in 
any claim to any estate from either Caleb Shreve or Sarah An- 
son by will and by contract passed to Benjamin Shreve, their 
youngest son, who possessed the only knowledge of it. After 
his death knowledge passed into rumor and these rumors of an 
expected estate spread to nearly every family of Shrove do- 
scent. In 1830-1840 descendants were scattered from the shores 
of New England to the Mississippi Valley. They were found in 
Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, 
Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri— a few in North Carolina and 



564 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

Mississippi. These rumors were an absorbing theme for specu- 
lation in the pioneer homes and particularly interesting to the 
younger members. The investigation was known to be in prog- 
ress, but the result was never communicated. Why this should 
be has been a mystery to the later generations into whose pos- 
session many letters and documents relating to the investiga- 
tions have fallen, for they were generally treasured and preserved 
by the receivers. There is no reason to suppose that the result 
was intentionally suppressed, but it is quite probable that the 
interest induced by expectancy subsided as a result of hope de- 
ferred. Many retained a feint hope that the estate could be 
procured and later inquiries began anew from time to time, as 
younger generations have appeared. 

After an elapse of twenty years Thomas Shreve of Minonk, 
Woodford Co., 111., writes Benjamin Shreve, of Loudon Co.^ 
Va., as follows : 

Minonk Woodford Co. 111. 
Mr. Benjamin Shreve. 

I got information of you by one of your neighbors moving 
through the State. Said he knew you well in Loudon Co. Vir- 
ginia. Offer my best respects to your family. I request you to 
write and let me know your fathers given name and your grand 
fathers given name. A full account of your foreparents as far 
back as you can, and their residences and what County they 
were from and the family records as far back as you can. Your 
neighbor said you were about ninety years of age. I thought 
we might get something of great importance from you. The 
cause of this favor from you is this. I have for the last two 
years been trying to ferret out a correct chain of family rec- 
ords for this reason. There was a great fortune left to the 
three sons of the first Shreve that came to America. This im- 
mense estate is in the hands of ten commissioners in Holland 
in the city of Amsterdam. Those commissioners sent to ad- 
vertise it in the public papers of Pennsylvania. About 1830 
or 1835 The Shreves called a meeting and sent one Thomas 
Shreve with the proceeding of the meeting to Holland. The 
Commissioners told him the proceedings of the meeting were 
not proof enough : the proof which they would rely upon would 
be a family record. There had been so many deaths up to that 
time. Thomas returned home he brought a copy of the will. 
Thomas died and there has since been no effort made until 
I heard of it about two years ago. I will try to obtain a copy 
of the will if possible. I will let you know my success in find- 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 565 

ing records. My friends write to me giving the year that Caleb 
Shreve land in America and the vear that his son of Joshua 
was born. Samuel was son of Caleb and John Shreve son of 
Samuel. This John Shreve was my father born in Loudon Co. 
Virginia and moved out into the backwoods of Pennsylvania 
when he was twelve or fourteen years of age. If you are a 
descendant of Caleb Shreve you are as much interested in this 
as I am. I wish you to give me all the information in your 
power as it is worth looking after. When Thomas Shreve was 
in Holland the estate consisted of about half the city of Am- 
sterdam besides lots of Cash : The Commissioners told Thomas 
that the estate was worth $75,000,000, at that time the annual 
income from the estate was $1,000 and the commissioners fee 
$1,000. apiece. I wish you to write me soon and oblige 

THOMAS SHREX'E. 

Thomas Shreve, of Cincinnati, O., died in 1846, aged seventy- 
six years. His son, Thomas H. Shreve, of Louisville, Ky., a 
prominent man, died in 1853, aged forty-five years. The latter 
is the one referred to. Benjamin Shreve, to whom the letter 
was addressed, had died in 1853, i" Loudon Co., Va., aged 
eighty-three years. He was the oldest living member of the 
Virginia branch of Shreves. The letter was received by his son, 
Major Francis E. Shreve. 

About this same time Margaretta Bowles, of Louisville, Ky., 
daughter of Grace Shreve Bowles and granddaughter of Thomas 
Shreve, of Cincinnati, affords a slightly different version of the 
matter : 

Oara Oara was an only child of a German nobleman of Am- 
sterdam. She fell in love and wished to marry \Vm. Shreve an 
english merchant. Her aristocratic father disdaining the alliance 
forbade it upon pain of his lasting displeasure and the certainty 
of her being disinherited. Oara aided by an aunt who was in 
a convent succeeded in joining Shreve on board an english 
vessel, here they were married by the english church service 
and immediately sailed for America. She was disinherited — 
her father refusing forgiveness and holding no coinnnmicat in 
with her. After many years her descendants being informed by 
the Dutch Consul that they could enter upon possession of a 
considerable part of Amsterdam if they could show any un- 
deniable proof of Shreve and Oaras marriage tried to find the 
certificate of marriage. It could not be found but was thought 
to have been consumed in a house that had belonged to the 
family and been burned some years previous. This as well as I 
can remember was the story of my ancestors that I heard when 



566 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

a child. I could not positively declare its accuracy for I have 
but rarely given a thought to the matter since I first heard it. I 
have a copy of the Dutch Coat of Arms, the legend is "Fides 
et Constantia" 

MARGARETTA BOWLES 
Vernon, Jeff. (daughter of Grace Bowles)

Feb. 22. 1859. 

This same year Joshua Shreve of Belle Plain, 111., gives his 
version : 

Belle Plain Marshall Co. Illinois, Nov. 23, 1859. 
Dear Friend — 

We are all well at this time. I would have written sooner, 
but I wanted to get all the information I could. Caleb Shreve 
that came from Endland in 1682 is the oldest we have any ac- 
count of. Joshua Shreve son of Caleb that came from Endland 
was born in 1692 and this Joshua was my great grand father, 
Caleb Shreve was born 1717, and this Caleb was my grandfather 
and James son of Caleb, was my father. He was born in 1754 
and I was born in 1791. My brother John has my great grand- 
father's will. It was made in 1751 and recorded in 1759. This 
will was made in Sheffield, West New Jersey, and recorded in 
Coalington. ****** 

This letter I have copied from a letter I received from Un- 
cles Lewis and John Shreve. My uncle John has his great grand 
father's will on record. He lives in Bedford Co., Penn. 

There is a copy of the old Holland will in Louisville, Ky., 
among Thomas Shreve's papers. He is dead. He went over 
to Holland and brought home a copy of the will. The first Caleb 
died in Philadelphia. His death is recorded in the quaker 
church book. The estate aforementioned is advertised in my 
papers and is estimated as fifty million dollars. 

JOSHUA SHREVE. 

The will mentioned was more likely made in "Springfield" 
and recorded in "Burlington." 

Major Francis E. Shreve of Loudon Co., Va., about ten years 
after Thomas Shreve of Minonk, 111., had written his father 
Benjamin Shreve, addresses Mrs. Carter of St. Louis, Mo., 
the only surviving child of Capt. Henry M. Shreve : 

Leesburg, Loudon Co., Va. 
Jan. 14, 1868. 
Mrs. Carter. 

The following is the account I have often heard from my fath- 
er relative to our fortune in Amsterdam. There were three 



OF THE SHREVE FAMII.Y. 567 

brothers, Shreves who left England many years ago in order to 
get rid of the persecution against the Quakers, then raging in 
England, they were of a good family. ~ Two of them went to 
Holland, where they became immensely wealthy, owning nearly 
all Amsterdam. They never married and left all their property 
to the heirs of the other brother, who had come to America. He 
had come over with WilHam Penn or some of his followers "and 
settled in Philadelphia. The family afterwards moved to New 
Jersey, and members of this now numerous family are scattered 
over the country. The heirs of Mr. Shreve were advertised in 
the Pensylvania papers to come forward and prove their right to 
the property about thirty or forty years ago. My father lived 
to be eighty-three years of age ; had he Hved until next May he 
would have been one hundred and one years of age. He said 
the first Shreve was married in a church by the Quakers, and 
the church burned during some of the early wars "^ 

FRANCIS E. SHREVE. 

At this time the writer was fifty-five years of age. He lived 
until 1878. The branch from which he descended was not of 
the Shreve-Areson union, but from Daniel Shreve and Jane 

. Daniel and Caleb being brothers, sons of John 

Sherifif, or Shreve, of Rhode Island. This version is an entirely 
new one, referring not to "Areson" or "Oara," but to male an- 
cestors "Shreve." Nearly two years later Francis E. Shreve 
addresses Joshua Shreve of Belle Plains, 111., as follows : 

Leesburg, Oct. loth, 1869. 
Dear Sir. — I received yours and was glad to hear from you. I 
would have answered it sooner, but I was quite unwell and had 
a very sick son we are boath much better as it regards our Hol- 
land estate I have received a lot of letters on the subject you 
wish to know what I have don I have been to \Vashington 
and tryed to get Mr Bradley to undertake it But he is an old 
man and would not undertake it. I know him. He is honest 
lawier. I was very unwell at the time and was glad to get home 
But I will try it again you say you can tell me where to get the 
Records which is all important to success. My Father was 
Benj. Shreve was born in Louden County Va my grand Fath- 
er was Benj. Shreve Born I think north of the potomac per- 
haps in New jersey my great grand Father came from New 
jersey to Louden County Va about 180 years ago I suppose 
was the Son of the old Sire to whom the fortune was left. I 
would say to you that my health is not good I am much bctt<M- 
than I have been for 4 years. I have a wife and 2 sons and 2 



568 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

daughters living give me all the light on the subject of the estate 
you can. I am yours with very great Respt 

FRANCIS E. SHREVE. 

The Louden Shreves held a meeting in 1859 or i860 and 
authorised me to take steps to recover the property. I made 
arrangements with John Shelton Esq. then practising in the Su- 
preme Court of the United States. During the war he died. 
He agreed to undertake the case, if he succeeded he was to have 
a large fee, if not nothing. The best plan I can conceive of is to 
advertise calling on all branches of the family to hold conven- 
tions and send delegates to a general convention where they 
might deliberate and adopt measures to try and recover their 
estate. My health is very bad and has been so for five years. 
Though I have once been to Washington since the war with the 
intention of trying to do something in the matter. Should I 
recover my health I will again urge the matter. Meanwhile I 
desire to be kept posted as to what steps you have taken and 
what progress you are making. 

My kindest regards with the love of my family are tendered 
you and your family. Yours respectfully

This latter appears to be an afterthought or postscript to the 
preceding dated October loth 1869. 

Joshua Shreve was deeply interested. He had commenced as 
early as 1859 to collect information. Previous to October, 1873, 
he employed Mark Bangs, an attorney, to write the American 
consul, on the subject. The Consul turned over the inquiry to 
Edward B. Humphrey, who replied. October 25th, 1873, Attor- 
ney Bangs wrote Joshua Shreve, giving probably a summary of 
Humphrey's letter, but largely quoting verbatim. Mr. Bangs 
makes no suggestions, simply notifies Mr. Shreve of the recep- 
tion of the letter. 

Lacon, Oct. 25, 1873. 
Mr. Joshua Shreve, Belle Plain. 

Dear sir : — I got a letter from Amsterdam to-day — written 
by one Edward B. Humphrey in answer to one we wrote some 
time ago to the American Consul at Amsterdam. He says our 
letter to Consul was handed to him by the Consul, as that kind 
of work was out of his line of business unless funds were sent to 
pay him for making the examination. This Humphreys says 
he has given the claim a somewhat extensive examination, but 
so far finds but two, that in any way assimilate to yours. These

are the estates of one "Scheres" and one "Scharcn" and one 
"Schaffers." He says he is however, confident that the family 
or parties have placed in our hands soHciting information are in 
error regarding- the claims in question, and he further says : 
"They are I am confident in hne of blood descent to a certain 
claim that I now hold all documents, and If the said parties will 
favor me with a perfectly correct line of their family descent, all 
the names plainly written as far back as possible, so that I may 
not be mistaken, nor cause them false hopes, I will then place 
them in possession of information of great interest to all of 
name Shreve or Shrieve, I am not positive how it is written." 

"ist. Inform me where the family originally came from, and 
where located in the states, at the time of the Revolutionary 
war in 1775 — am certain." 

"2nd. All details in anv way relative to this or them what- 
ever, and how the family was apprised of it." "I am particular 
in soliciting all as above, for sometimes, I am solicited by 
wrong parties." 

He further says : "At the same while waiting your reply, will 
give the name of Shreve a careful search. I now have many 
claims, have been subject to call many years, so if you have oth- 
ers you are at liberty to solicit information of me." 

Verv Truly Yours, 

EDWARD B. HUMPHREYS. 

I have given you above the substance of his letter you may 
govern yourself accordingly. Respectfully 

MARK BANGS. 

Less than three months after the receipt of the letter from 
Mr. Humphrey by Mr. Bangs, Caleb D. Shreve of Medford, N. 
J., writes Dr. Joseph Shreve of Burlington, N. J., the following: 

Medford, Jan. 7th, 1874. 

Dr. Joseph Shreve, Esq. 

Dear Sir: — Yours of last month has been received. My ge- 
nealogical table has almost entirely to do with our family since 
they came to this country. I enclose a copy of a paper drawn 
up by my Uncle, Benjamin Shreve some thirty or more years 
ago in regard to this very matter. It contains all that I know 
about it. It gives the names of the parties inheriting and from 
whom the property" descended. Of course more could be learn- 
ed by spending some time and money hunting up wills, etc. 

Your correspondent says, "he has spent both time and money 
and is confidant of ultimate success ;" it is evident that he has 
spent but little of either, as he does not know even the names 
of the parties, and expects those interested in the result to do 
the work for him. I as one of the heirs would be wilhng to al- 



570 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

low him one-third of the sum gained for his compensation, but 
first wish him to make a statement of what he is endeavoring to 
get and his experience and ability and reliabiUty in that hne of 
business as he might possibly make the case worse for us than 
it is now. I don't suppose his road to success will be much 
better than our roads here are at present. The weather is cer- 
tainly "phenominal" and is not appreciated as joyfully as cold 
weather and sunshine would be. If you hear anything further 

from your correspondent among the hyacinth and I 

will be much pleased to hear from you again. I expect now to 
be in my brother's office about two days in each week, perhaps 
his ink is much better than this, which is so thick it has almost 
to be coaxed out, and then doesn't look well, like a bashful boy 
in his first company. I have the pleasure to remain, 

Yours truly, 

CALEB D. SHREVE.

jamin Shreve of Medford several years ago and copied by Caleb 
D. Shreve of the same place in the year A. D. 1870.] 

To Whom It May Concern — 

There has been handed down in the Shreve family that there 
was a large sum of money due from the Orphans' Fund in Am- 
sterdam belonging to the heirs of Sarah Shreve who was Areson 
which she heired from her grand mother Ore Onert or Hornet 
as I do not understand the language it may not be spelled right 
but as near as I can recollect that Sarah Areson of Long Island 
married Caleb Shreve of Rhode Island and after marriage they 
moved to Freehold Monmouth County East New Jersey from 
thence removed to Mansfield Burlington County West New 
Jersey where part of the family yet remains that this Sarah 
Shreve heired her fortune by her grandmother that she made 
her son Benjamin Shreve her lawful heir that the said Benjamin 
Shreve sent to Amsterdam and received for answer that the 
property had been sold and the money had been placed in the 
Orphan's Fund to be paid when demanded by the heirs that the 
said Benjamin Shreve collected the proof and was going to 
Amsterdam for the property but had the misfortune to burst a 
blood vessel and bleed to death and his heirs being young and 
the widow marrying again to one of the Ayers, and he took pos- 
session of the papers, and the farm for several years, when Caleb 
Shreve, the heir, arrived at the age of twenty-one years of age 
and he being obliged to leave the farm the said Ayers took the 
said writings with him and refused to give them up but said that 
if he had got them he could take as good care of them as any 
person and after the death of the father his sons also refused 
to give them up and his grandsons still refused to deliver them

up and a quarrel and a dispute arose between them the elder 
brother threw the youngest brother's goods out of the house, the 
youngest put them in the barn, a few nights after the barn was 
burned, and after that time the youngest brother said that there 
was some valuable papers burnt in the desk that belonged to the 
Shreves then we thought all lost until Mary Field found Derick 
Areson's will which has made quite a stir in which he has left 
his property in Holland to his seven children. Mary Field said 
she had traced said Areson back to where he married a woman 
by the name of Mary Hedger if so she must have been his sec- 
ond wife, which accounts for the family always saying that there 
was but two daughters, Sarah and Maria. Maria died before 
grown up. that the Aaronsons claimed, but had no right to 
claim the Shreve family always claimed the whole and said that 
Sarah Areson came from Amsterdam with her mother and the 
property was left by her grand mother in Amsterdam 

CALEB D. SHREVE 

Three days later Dr. Joseph Shreve received the following 
communication from Mr. John P. Hutchinson : 

Bordentown, N. J., January loth, 1874. 
Joseph Shreve M. D. 

Dear Sir 

I have received the papers sent about the Holland Estate. 
I have taken the matter in hand and will investigate as fast as 
I can. Uncle Charles Shreve will get the records from Spring- 
field. I have the direct line already, but not the collaterals. I 
will investigate the historical collections of the state of New 
York in reference to the settlers from Holland in the seventeenth 
century. Caleb D. Shreve at Medford has all the pajiers now 
held by the family, and which you saw at Aaron Buntings. You 
will hear from me soon again. The two parties at Mt. Holly; 
Turner Risdon was killed about Dec. i, 1873, ^""^^ Bullock keeps 
store. I will see him. Your obt, servt., 

JOHN P. HUTCHINSON. 

It is uncertain whether the late Samuel H. Shreve of New 
York City was co-operating at this time with Dr. Slireve, 
C. D. Shreve and J. P. Hutchinson. Very soon thereafter he 
became very interested in identifying the Coat of Arms, and 
knowing more of the very early ancestry of Caleb Shrove. He 
addressed the following to Major Wm.P. Shreve of Boston (a de- 
scendant of Benj. Sheve of Salem, Mass.), who, it seems, was 
"to undertake the search." These gentlemen were all descen- 
dants of Benjamin Shreve and Rebecca French, and ^Ir. S. H. 



572 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

Shreve was then active in collecting material relating to the 
Shreve family generally, parts of which he had published. He 
died without having used a large amount of material which he 
had intended to publish, and which was subsequently unavaila- 
ble. Much of this letter may appear a repetition of another 
from his pen of later date, but a closer examination shows the 
subject matter treated in a different manner. 

SHERIFF OR SHREVE FAMILY. 

My dear Sir. I have your favor of the 20 and am glad to learn 
you will undertake the search. It is to learn something of fam- 
ily matter prior to the time of Caleb Shreve and Sarah Areson 
that I wish to identify the Coat of Arms. You may in your 
searches find something that will assist us. I will therefore tell 
you what I know of this Caleb and something of the family tra- 
ditions. I find his name in the Surveyor Generals olifice of East 
Jersey in the book of Warrants where a warrant was issued to 
Caleb Sherifife for 60 acres of land in Shrewsbury about this 
time. The first conveyance from him on record is dated Jan. 
4, 1692. Another warrant was issued to Caleb Shrefe for 240 
acres in Shrewsbury. These warrants were not located until 
1679. We may therefore assume that he settled in Shrewsbury 
about this time. The first conveyance from him on record is 
dated Jan. 4, 1692, and is signed by his wife, Sarah. In the 
conveyances to him he is described as "Planter." He purchased 
the Mansfield Homestead property April 22, 1699; he died in 
1742 and his wife was living in 1735. 

From the first date given, 1676 to 1742, are 66 years and he 
must have been 21 when the first warrant was issued to him, or 
at least 87 years of age when he died, consequently if not born 
in America he must have come to this country when very young. 
I infer from his extensive real estate dealings that he must have 
been when quite young possessed of considerable means. The 
title "Planter" when most of his neighbors were called "Yoe- 
men" would also seem to show this. I therefore infer that his 
parents were wealthy. He made his son Benjamin the young- 
est of seven brothers his sole heir, leaving his other sons $5 each 
b)^ his will. The others, however, had all been given good 
farms in Burlington County, N. J. These sons' names were 
Thomas, Joshua, Joseph, Jonathan, Caleb and David and I am 
quite sure they all lived and died in Burlington County. I find 
the following in the publications of the Rhode Island Historical 
Society. At the General Assembly held for the Colony of 
Rhode Island and Providence Plantations at Newport : 

Caleb Shrieve of Portsmouth was admitted as a freeman May 
I, 1722. 



OF THE SHREVK FAMILY. 573 

Daniel Shrieve of Portmouth was admitted as a freeman April 
23, 1723- 

John Shrieve of Portsmouth was admitted as a freeman Feb., 
1724. 

John Shrieve, Jr., of Portsmouth was admitted as a freeman 
Feb., 1724. 

William Shrieve of Portsmouth was admitted as a freeman, 
May 4, 1731. 

John, son of John J. Shrieve, of Portsmouth was admitted as 
a freeman May i, 1740. 

Capt. John Shreve, Jr., of Portmouth was deputy to the Gen- 
eral Assembly May, 1759. *********** 

Caleb Shreve maried Sarah, daughter of Derick Areson of 
Flushmg-, L. I., and formerly of Amsterdam. Areson by his 
first wife had two children, Sarah and Maria, the latter died 
young-. Aresons second wife's name was Hedger and by this 
second marriage had four or five more daughters, this brings us 
to the Amsterdam or Holland fortune. This there is no doubt 
never was Areson's, who left a will bequeathing his property to 
his daughters. He left some property in Amsterdam, but it 
was not a fortune by any means. If Sarah Areson was an heir- 
ess it was through her mother. Now all traditions agree that 
the Holland property once belonged to Oara Oara, but wliat 
relation to our family was Oara Oara? She was an ancestress, no 
doubt, but in what generation? I have several statements made 
by older members of the family in regard to this matter, but 
put most confidence in that which comes through Col. Israel 
Shreve, for this reason : Two servants of Benjamin the father of 
Israel were living in the time of Caleb and Sarah and frequently 
repeated to Israel conversations which they had heard between 
Caleb and Sarah and their son Benjamin in regard to the Am- 
sterdam fortune. This Benjamin died when his children were 
very young and his widow married a second time. The old 
family papers were taken possession of by the second family 
who persistently refused to deliver them to the rightful owners 
and they were finally burnt hence Benjamin's children depend- 
ed solely on traditions, and Israel seems to have taken more in- 
terest in this subject than his brothers. His story is ; Caleb 
Shreve was the son of William Shreve and Oara Oara. the latter 
was the daughter of a Holland Nobleman of great wealth and an 
only child. She was studying in a convent in England of wliioh 
the lady Abbess was her fathers sister and there met William 
Shreve who was a warm friend of the Abbess. The voung peo- 
ple became engaged and notwithstanding the strong opposition 
of the Father, eloped and were married. They subsequently 
came to America and lived on Long Island or Rhode Island. 
Some of Oara' jewelry is still in possession of the family. Will- 



574 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

iam Shreve graduated at Oxford and was the son of Sir William 
Shreve and Lady Elizabeth Fairfax, who came from Greece or 
Rome. He resided on the Isle of Wight, his name in his na- 
tive language corresponding to the word Sheriff or Shreve, I 
think we may assume from this story the following as facts be- 
cause they would hardly have been invented by those who hand- 
ed down the tradition. 

1. The elopement story was true of some member of the 
family. 

2. Elizabeth Fairfax married some member of the family. 

3. Some Ancestor was a Sir William Shreve and lived on the 
Isle of Wight. 

4. Some Ancestor came from Rome or Greece. 

Other traditions say that Oara Oara was the mother or grand- 
mother of Sarah Areson. The Coat of Arms has been in the 
family for several generations and from the ornaments about it 
must have been painted at least 200 years ago, probably more. 
These Arms are said to belong to Areson, by others to Oara. 
To identify them will help us greatly in our search. About the 
year 1832 a meeting of the Shreve family was held in conse- 
quence of an advertisement for the heirs of somebody, etc. * * * 

This is the latest record received relating to a renewal of the 
investigations, yet as late as 1895 a descendant in Idaho be- 
came greatly interested and employed legal counsel with whom 
he went to New York City, and one of them embarked for Am- 
sterdam. The result of this trip has not been made known by 
themselves or relatives. 

A few years ago a request for information of this estate was 
sent to many descendants and copies of wills, statements and 
other documents reliable in character were solicited. The pro- 
ceding contributions were generously forwarded by many per- 
sons in response. Comments were freely made by many, some 
of which are the following: 

Mrs. Abigail Strawn, Salem, O. 

* * * I remember helping my mother to get dinner for a 
crowd of men who were investigating the Holland estate— there 
were several by the name of Rockhills also Whites and Fowlers 
who lived about Alliance. I cannot tell anything about them 
now, I was only fifteen years old. I learned from them that 
there was one link lost by the burning of a bible if that could 
have been had that great estate could have been recovered and 
Dr. Solomon Shreve would have crossed the ocean and done 
the business for the heirs. * * * 



OP THE SHREVE FAMII^Y. 575 

Abigail Strawn, Salem, O. 

* * * It was a school house two miles west of Salem where 
the relatives mterested in the Holland estate met— think it was 
the year 1830 or 1834. 

Maud Shreve, Belle Plains, 111. 

* * * My father wrote and received several letters from 
Holland stating in some that the claim was there for the Shreve 
family when they proved their heirship. * * * ^^,ly father 
said that there was an estate for the Shreve family in Amster- 
dam, Holland, and he wrote and received many letters concern- 
ing it. About fifty years ago a man by the name of Thomas 
Shreve went to Holland, but being unable to prove his heirship 
could do nothing, he said there was an estate for the Shreve 
family. ^ This Thomas got a copy of the old will and brought 

it to this country, but he misplaced it and it was never found. 
* * * 

Z. B. Shreve, Hastings, Neb. 

* * * I would be glad if you would write me and let me 
know what you think of the prospects in regard to that Holland 
matter. * * * 

J. W. M. P. Wallace, Philadelphia, Pa. 

* * * I recollect well Mercer Shreve telling me some 
twenty-three years ago, before my marriage, that he had looked 
into it and there was nothing in it. Mercer was a shrewd and 
able lawyer and as he had an eagle eye for litigation, especially 
if there was compensation at the end of the suit, you may rest 
assured that the Holland money could not be gathered in * * 

Arthur B. Shreve, Lucketts, Va. 

"William or Thomas Shreve of Kentucky visited my father 
some years previous to the war endeavoring to find out some- 
thing about the Amsterdam property which belonged to a Miss 
Harrison the wife of one of the three brothers who came over in 
the "May Flower" the deed of which was lost by the burning 
of a wooden bank in which it was deposited in N. Y. known 
at that time as New Amsterdam. I have also heard that at 
least $75,000,000 went to the crown of Holland for want of 
proper claimants though it was known to the authorities of Am- 
sterdam that a Mrs. Shreve owned the property, but the burned 
deed was the missing link in the chain of evidence. It was re- 
markable that when'l first met the Carters in St. Louis in order 
to ascertain whether there was any real relationship between 
us Mr. Frank Carter requested me to narrate some story ct.»n- 
nected with the early history of the Shreve family and I repeated 



576 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

to him substantially as I have given it to you and he replied that 
it was identical with their version." 

Harold Shreve, Boston, Mass. 

* * * I am under the impression my father had a certain 
amount of faith in the tale, but the chance of proving heirship 
and of locating the exact property and ascertaining its value 
were so remote that few members of the family cared to under- 
take the expense and trouble of investigating. * * * 

Robert L. White, Tonganoxie, Kan. 

* * * Father said that Doctor Shreve was appointed to go 
to Amsterdam Holland to look after a large legacy there that 
belonged to Shreves Whites and their descendants, but before 
the time appointed for him to go he took sick and died so it fell 
through. We have got letters from Holland since we came to 
Kansas concerning the estate. Deric Erinson I believe was the 
man that wrote to us. * * * 

Mary Briggs, Coal Creek, Iowa. 

* * * Father is an old man and can remember many in- 
cidents of long ago, and he says it was tried in his youthful days 
and for reasons abandoned. 

I am so glad for thy letter and circular for I had very little 
faith in getting the Derick Arison estate but to please some I 
sent some records in my possession to one in Ohio a stranger to 
me. I wrote to her the other day asking how such excitement 
started and sending her a circular too. D. G — was one of the 
excited. * * * j think the Holland afifair has delayed their 
sending their genealogical data. * * * 

I received a few lines from telling the rea- 
son of such excitement. A clipping in a paper of Sylvester 
Shumard in regard to a sum of money in Holland coming to 
their family. It must have been done in fun. $60,000,000 to 
their family relatives of Shreves. 

Grace Shumard, Elkhart, Ind. 

* * * I want to ask you what you think the prospects are 
of our ever claiming the estate which is said to be coming to the 
heirs of Sarah Areson Shreve. Do you think there is any- 
thing in it. I have been in correspondence with Mrs. 

and Mrs. and from their talk especially the latter we 

have been much encouraged. I wrote to the Consul at Am- 
sterdam and will mail you the reply which please return. I 

sent it to Mrs. but it did not seem to discourage her as 

she said that if the property was properly described in Deric 
Aresons will that would enable us to show the property was there

Letter written from the Pacific Slope to a party in N. J. 

One of aunts ancestors (she believes her great grandfather) 
married a Shreve. She is certain of the marriage, but not of the 
parties or their names. Every branch of the family have had 
Calebs and Sarahs and she cannot therefore locate any of them 
farther back than her remembrance. She remembers the name 
Areson as in a dream, but can give no information concerning 
it. She well reniembers the time when men were sent to Am- 
sterdam to see after the fortune. The men met and arranged 
matters at her grandfathers house.where she lived after the death 
of her parents. She remembers that the main member of that 
committee proved to be a scoundrel never returning to give any 
account of the success or non success of the mission intrusted to 
him. It was always understood that her branch of the family 
were interested in the fortune and kno\yn that they were related 
to the Shreve family. * * * 

Mrs. Lucy Pease, Bellbrook, O. 

* * - My grandfather used often to tell me of the Shrcvos 
— of their being such fine formed noble looking men. She said 
that when dressed in their uniforms (Regimentals she called it) 
there were no finer looking men to be found. It was Israel 
Shreve who on leaving home to go to war wrote over the door 
"Col. Israel Shreve" and when the British came to Princeton 
they stationed a guard of honor around the home and protect- 
ed it. * * * As to the Holland estates, while I feel sure 
that we are heirs to an estate there I am not sure of ever getting 
it but in order to get desired informaion I have sometimes to 
revert to it. * * * Are you keeping yourself posted on the 
Aneke-Jans question? I am told that baric Arrisons heirs arc 



578 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

interested in the estate. I just got a pamphlet from the Presi- 
dent of the Ohio committee of investigation. * * * 

Mrs. Mary Sothern Shreve, Dun Loring, Va. 

* * * Have heard a great deal about the Shreve fortune 
in Amsterdam, Holland, and one time they sent a la\v>'er from 
Alexandria to see about it but he was lost — at least never was 
heard from. At one time there came two old gentlemen from 
New Jersey to talk of it but it seemed to die out and no one 
took interest to ferret it out. I heard Major Frank Shreve of 
Loudon Co., Va., say that his father knew a great deal about it 
but he neglected to work it up. The fortune comes from a 
Count in Amsterdam. The counts daughter eloped with him 
and they were married on board of an English ship and sailed 
to Long Island and built a house and after awhile the house was 
burned and the certificate was lost. She had four sons. Her 
father was angry with her and willed all to his son, her brother, 
and her brother willed it all to his sister. I cannot say how 
many years ago but according to the laws of England that certi- 
ficate oug-ht to be recorded in London, England, and a penetrat- 
ing lawyer might work it out. * * * 

Mrs. Ann Donaldson. 

* * * She says "two of our fathers brothers were named 
Benjamin and William Shreve and they were in the Revolution- 
ary — that her grandfather was named Joseph Beck, and her 
great grandfather Arroweth Beck, and his wife's name Han- 
nah Gibbs. She says that in regard to the interests in Holland, 
the name Daric (or perhaps Diedric) Aricson or Erickson was the 
proper name ; that one Mary Field came to visit at her fathers 
house with the will and letters of administration, Coat of Arms, 
&c ; that the will was read in the hearing of many people." She 
describes the Coat of Arms thus : "The Coat of Arms was about 
the size of a small window glass and had a black frame with a 
rose of grandem on it with horns of plenty and with the head of 
a dog." I have written to find out if there are any of this Mary 
Fields relatives yet living and what year she visited these peo- 
ple. * * * 

C. E. Stansell. 

* * * Our family with a very few other members spent 
quite a good deal of money and time some years ago trying to 
trace the family name back to its source, also trying to get the 
estate in Holland into the present heirs hands but were unable 
to do so on account of not being able to prove whether Caleb 
Shreves wife was Sarah Arison or Harrison. I would be pleased 
to know how you discovered that her name was Arison. * * * 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 579 

C. U. Shreve, Louisville, Ky. 

* * * Two estates involving- many millions one on my ma- 
ternal side, "The Laurence Townley" in England and the other 
the Shreve estate in Amsterdam, still remain unclaimed by this 
omission of ancestry. * * * 

Jessie E. Martin, St. Louis, Mo. 

* * * Father remembers well when in 1835 ^^i^ father con- 
tributed to a purse and sent an agent to Holland ; said agent re- 
turned stating that the matter had been in the court there so 
long that it was outlawed and the matter dropped. * * * 

* * * Mary D. Grant knows nothing about the investiga- 
tion, only remembers hearing her father say that there was a 
fortune there that would come in her time but not in his. * * * 

Mrs. Octavius B. Shr/^ve, Salem, Mass. 

* * * Capt. Benjamin Shreve, brother of Isaac, did investi- 
gate the "Amsterdam Claim'' but with no satisfactory result. As 
I remember the story there were papers missing supposed to 
have been lost in a fire which burned a barn where they were 
many years ago. If said estate could be recovered (even sup- 
posing Sarah Areson to be the only child of Derick Areson to 
whom the property belonged) there would be so many heirs that 
after expenses were paid each ones portion would be too small 
to find. * * * jf it is an Amsterdam estate you want it 
went to the crown years ago and is not worth your postage 
stamps. * * * 

Evan Shreve, Damascus, O. 

* * * Solomon Shreve stated about the Holland 
estate — that he and others were looking it up — if reached it would 
take the principal part of the wealth of the city of Amsterdam 
but there was a link wanting in making the connection of inher- 
itance owing to two brothers geting at outs and one took his 
goods and papers to the barn, the barn was burned and a famil\- 
bible consumed containing the genealogy necessary to make 
connected chain of heirship. Dr. Solomon Shreve made prepa- 
ration to go to Holland to look the matter up but whether he 
went in vain or found it not worth while and declined is un- 
known. * * * 

Louisa Kemple, Malvern, Iowa. 

* * * My mother had a large furtunc coming to her from

it if you have time to write. * * *

to the Holland estate, also some papers showing that his father 
Caleb Shreve and two uncles took a cargo of goods to France in 
1812 which the French captured. If you think it worth while I 
could look up these items — it would take a little time as they 
are scattered.

ing to them. * * * My wifes grandfather Jonathan Shreve 
is a great grandchild of Caleb Shreve.

* * * Ever since I can remember I have heard father say 
he had an interest in a fortune in Holland and I think his moth- 
er was a Shreve. * * * 

Henry Shreve, Easton, Md. 

* * * I know from hearsay that my father Dr. Solomon 
Shreve was interested in looking up the Holland estate and was 
selected at a meeting of heirs held — I know not where or when — - 
to go to Amsterdam, but never did so. I have learned that 
whatever there might have been has probably reverted to the 
government. * * *

Paul and Nathan White were part at least of the committee ap- 
pointed to attend to the legacy for Deric Errison of seven mill- 
ions from the Kingf of Holland at Amsterdam. But it appears 
that the papers were burnt with a building and we the descen- 
dants o^ot none of jt. * * *

* * * In regard to the Holland estate my grandmother 
somewhere around 1835 employed Mr. Peter P. Lowe (deceas- 
ed), of Dayton, Ohio, the most eminent lawyer at that time, to 
write to Amsterdam on the subject. It seems the estate was 
once advertised in a Philadelphia paper and with it names of 
the supposed heirs but when grandmother took the matter up 
they were unable to get possession of the paper and she had to 
rely on her memory for names &c. Mr. Lowe wrote and while 
he did not get a very encouraging answer yet he had a very 
strong belief that if grandmother would pay his expenses over 



OF the; SHRKVE FAMII.Y. 581 



he could gain possession of the estate. In those days going 
to Europe was looked upon as a great undertaking attended 
with great expense, grandmother felt too great an expense based 
upon so much uncertainty, and finally gave it up, although to 
her dying day believed the estate rightfully hers or ours, and 
many times we have thought, talked and wondered about it.

* * * My father got a letter from Holland when I was 
a small boy but I cant tell anything about that or where it is. 
A Mr. J. Green had considerable correspondence with the Hol- 
land people. * * * As soon as his wife died they having no 
children — he quit as he was out of the family. I have always 
thought that the money could be got if some one would go to 
work in the matter and get it in shape for it is surely there as I 
have heard about it ever since I can remember. * * * 

Richard A. Shreve, Bladensburg, Md. 

* --;= * About the Holland business I have been told by 
my father and my uncle Samuel Shreve Jr the following: 

Benjamin and Jonathan Shreve came from England, that they 
were transported on account of their religion. They were sin- 
gle men and settled in New Jersey, Burlington County. After 
a while they separated and Benjamin remaining in Burlington 
County, they vowed to each other at that separation that what- 
ever they accumulated of this worlds goods should go to the sur- 
vivor. Jonathan Shreve traveled until he came to Amsterdam, 
Holland. There he worked and saved his money and turned 
his attention to speculating in land. He bought up a great deal 
of ground and built on the same at ground rents. The rents 
got so high the people could not stand it. He would sell and 
build again and it increased so till he owned all of Front street 
Amsterdam. About the year 1829 commissioners of the Shreves 
after he died furnished a chartered vessel started for Amsterdam 
to prove their claim to Jonathan Shreves estate. The vessel 
was lost and about 1833 the commissioners of the Shreves 
amounting to about thirty-five men consolidated and chartered 
another vessel commissioned from the United States govern- 
ment. They started for Amsterdam. A revenue cutter from 
Amsterdam saw a Mexican flag flying from a Mexican ship. 
They sailed ahead and spread the news through .\mstonlnni 
which caused the (Coat of Arms) called the City Hall to be burnt 
which they supposed would destroy the claim. Benjainm Slireve 
had to my knowledge two children named respectively Reuben 
and Phoebe Ann. "Benjamin Shreve of Burlington Comity was 
the grandfather of James H. Shreve and Sanniel Shreve Jr. He 
being a Quaker, the British destroyed his property. He went 



582 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

to Blackwoodtown, West Jersey, and had a talk with Genl. Geo. 
Washington. Washington told him that he being a Quaker 
he could do nothing for him. Benjamin Shreve said to Wash- 
ington, "give me men enough and I will take that British fleet 
to-night." Washington gave him sixty men and made him 
captain of them. That night he took the fleet. He went with 
Washington through the entire campaign. He was with him 
side by side when Lord Cornwallis gave up his sword at York- 
town. You can find this on file in the War Department.

Statement of family history dictated by Charlotte West 
Shreve Sutton for her grand daughter, Gertrude Randolph, in 
1886. 

"A Captain Shreve married a Duke's daughter from Holland 
and afterwards came to America, and we are their descendants. 
My grandfather's name was Joseph, and my father was David — 
a miller. He had three brothers, Thomas, a farmer ; William, a 
weaver, and Benjamin, a miller. My mother was Esther Mar- 
tin of Monmouth, N. J." 

Statement of Family History, dictated to A. K. Lewis in 1895, 
by Hannah Frith Williamson, wife of Merrick Martin Shreve ; 

"My mother-in-law, Esther Martin Shreve, wife of David 
Shreve of Monmouth, N. J., about i860, gave me the following 
family history : 

"A Holland nobleman of great wealth owned large shipping 
interests. One of his captains a Shreve by name, fell in love 
with the nobleman's daughter, and this not meeting the approval 
of the nobleman father, the young folks eloped, taking the ship 
with them, first went to England, and afterward to America. The 
old nobleman before death made his will, leaving his vast estates 
to his daughter and her heirs, this estate, estimated at about $75,- 
000,000, was willed to the daughter, and her sons, Caleb and 
Joseph, (perhaps a third). My mother-in-law (said Esther Mar- 
tin Shreve), who was born about 1784, remembered well the old 
Quaker gentleman, Caleb Shreve, the uncle of her husband, 
IDavid Shreve. He often visited them about 1800 to 1810. My 
husband's father. David Shreve, of Monmouth, N. J., often said 
to his family : "There is lots of money for the Shreves if there 
are brains enough and perseverance enough to get it." Said 
David Shreve, husband of Esther Martin, is buried in Mon- 
mouth, N. J.

in places to day. 

Thursday 17th July — Set out and halted at Coopers Tavern at 
the foot of the first hill called the Blue mountain and breakfasted, 
all in good health and high spirits. Crops from the Susquahann.i 
to this place exceedingly good and plenty, free from mildew and 
rust, then ends the good land until over all the hills except in 
spots, and here began sorrow. Set out and ascended the first 
Mountain so steep that we were obliged to double the teams to 
get up and very stony going down the other side, in lliis valley

606 THE GENEAI,OGY AND HISTORY 

Friday i8th July — Set out again and rose the second hill 
called the North Mountain, this as steep and stony as the first, 
at the west fort forded a Creek in Path Valley, went on and 
halted at a Tavern, the Landlord drunk, a man who calls himself 
Noble with the Landlady on the Bed nursing the Landlord who 
was fast asleep ; — this place afifords neither forage nor water and 
whiskey nearly out. Coming down the last Hill Daniel Hervey 
left his stallion to follow the waggon, the horse took an old path 
and caused several hours search before he was found stripped of 
all his gears but the collar, consisting of a new blind bridle, a 
pair of leather lines, harnes, back and belly bands, and one iron 
trace the other having been taken to lock the waggon — about 2 
o'clock in the afternoon set out and ascended the third hill called 
the Tuscarora Mountain which is much steeper than the other. 
At or near the top there are several Cabins, in one lives or stays 
an old woman who appears to be very sick and in distress. At 
the West fort of this third Hill is a good farm — Went on a mile 
farther to Mr Gimmersons who keeps a Tavern and Store of 
Goods which he sells as cheap for hard cash as such Goods are 
sold in Jersey for paper money. Here had the misfortune to 
break one of my Waggon wheels, sent it on five miles this even- 
ing to be repaired, 8 miles only to-day : This is the place called 
the Burnt Cabins, where the old road that passes through 
Chambers Town comes into the old Road said to be twenty 
miles farther than the new one but much better and shuns two 
of the three Hills just mentioned. Our women complain heav- 
ily on acount of being obliged to walk on foot over the Moun- 
tain. 

Saturday 19th July — About eleven o'clock set out all but the 
disabled Waggon and passed over barren sideling roads, halted 
at Capt Birds at fort Littleton, 5 miles to day, one or two pretty 
good farms in this valley, here stayed for the Waggon wheel 
which was not finished until evening. 

Sunday 20th July — Sent the repaired wheel to the Waggon, 
About eleven o'clock had a further hindrance by having three 
horse shoes put on. Set out and passed over barren roads good 
but much gullied, halted in the woods at a Run of Good Water 
at the foot of Sideling Hill, 13 miles to day, stayed all night, 
heavy complaints among the Women. 

Monday 21st July — Set out and ascended Sideling Hill up a 
good new Road made by said Skinner, halted on the top and 
breakfasted at Henry Livingstons Tavern, went on over exceed- 
ingly stony Roads to Rays Hill, here cut saplings and chained 
to our Waggons, this hill steep, gullied, and very stony, Skin- 
ners men at work making a new Road down, we continued on to 
the crossings of the Juneatto, forded the River, halted on 
the Hill at a Colonel Martins Tavern, Land Lord nor Lady at 
home, no feed but 2 Rye sheaves cut up for which I paid 9d, the

girls of the House very uncouth and surly ; went on and halted 
at Cabin Tavern kept by a Jersey Dutchman; 12 miles to-day. 
Road from Martins barren and bad sideling" hill ; one felloe of one 
of my Waggons gave way, Mr. Shreve put in a new one. 

Tuesday 22nd July — Set out after breakfast, went on and 
passed through Bedford, halted for a horse shoe, went on four 
miles further and halted at John Bonnets Tavern at the forks of 
the Old Pennsylvania and Glade Roads, 15 miles today, Here 
is an excellent farm with more than one hundred acres of the 
best Meadow land. Joseph Becks child very ill, stayed here all 
night. 

Wednesday 23rd July — Set out late in the morning, went over 
a poor country and in the evening halted at a poor Dutch Hut 
where the Landlady was very angry with D. H. for pulling a 
radish. No feed at this Tavern nor anything else but whiskey, 
13 miles to day. The gnats very bad here. 

Thursday 24th July — Set out and passed on five miles to the 
fort of 'the Allagana Mountain, having now passed twelve miles 
along Dry Ridge and seen but two or three houses which are 
very poor, — went on and ascended the mountain which is noth- 
ing of a Hill to what we have passed, halted and dined a little 
off the road on the Hill, very rainy, we then proceeded on from 
the Allagana one mile into the Glades and halted at Christian 
Spikers where we stayed the remainder of the Day on account 
of the illness of the child, 13 miles to day; — About eleven o'clock 
this evening, Ann Beck daughter of Joseph Beck departed this 
life to the great grief of her parents, more so on account of be- 
ing far distant from their former home. 

Friday 25th July — Sent to Berlin for a Coffin which arrived 
towards Evening when the child was decently interred in Mr. 
Spikers family Burying ground. Stayed here all night again. 
Still raining by spells. 

Saturday 26th July— Hired George Pancakee and two horses 
to put before my heaviest Waggon for 8-4 per day and find him 
and horses. Set out, halted at a Blacksmiths, had two clasps 
put on my Waggon wheel and one horse shoe put on — Set out 
and halted at Mr. Blacks, here is a family waiting for Judsims. 
went on taking a right hand road at an empty Cabm on account 
of the other Road being cut so much by heavily loaded Wag- 
gons, halted and dined at one Jacob Louts, went on and halted 
at a Dunken called Perkeys, 15 miles to day. The land m the 
Glades on the Roads we have passed poor. r 1 1 . 

Sunday 27th July— Set out and after going a few lumdrod 
yards missed the most material part of Daniel Herveys property, 
it having gone before and taken a wrong road, a hue and cry 
was raised when to his great joy it was found unhurt W e 
passed on and began to rise Laurel Hill, halted and breakfasted 
at a run of Water. Set out again and ascended to the top of the 



608 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

Mountain over miry and stony Roads, then soon began to de- 
scend, first down a short steep hill, then a long gradual descent 
through chestnut Brush, the timber appearing to have been 
killed by fire sometime before, huckle berries here as well as in 
many places before very plainly on the low green bushes, — this 
Road down is over logs and stones enough to dash all to pieces : 
At length we arrived at a house in Legenear Valley it being 
Sunday and rain coming on we stayed the afternoon and all 
night. Our women exceedingly fatigued by walking over the 
Mountain. 

Monday 28th — Set out and after passing three miles halted 
and breakfasted. Set out again and found the steepest hill we 
had met with, in going up Chestnut Hill were obliged to put 
six horses to some of the heaviest waggons. Raining hard — 
Descend the Ridge and came into the other road which is so 
miry as to sink the Waggons to the hubs in many places, 
stopped at a Blacksmiths and had one shoe put on one of my 
horses — Set out again and met Joseph Wood on his way to Jer- 
sey from Little Kenhaway, he informed me that a house was 
ready for me in the forks of Youghaina, went on and was over- 
taken by John Fox with the intelligence that one of Daniel Her- 
veys Waggons had broken down. I halted at John Bennetts 
junior it being the first house over all the mountains. In the 
evening all the waggons arrived less Daniel Herveys two. 12 
miles today — D. Harvey last evening in coming from his 
Waggon to Mr. Bennetts, got out of the Road ; it being very 
dark he could not find it again and was forced to take up his 
lodging in the Woods until day. Sarah Harvey and Sarah Beck 
walked six miles over very bad Roads this afternoon and arrived 
much wearied. 

Tuesday 29th July — Sent for D. Harveys broken waggon and 
got a new axle-tree put in. We are now clear of the Moun- 
tains over which we have with much difficulty got so far safely 
except the misfortune of losing the child. The Allagania moun- 
tain, the Back Bone of America or the United States, is easy to 
ascend, being a long gradual ascent up Dry Ridge. Upon it, 
especially on the East side are very large white pines in great 
plenty; the Glade is a high country or piece of land 18 miles 
wide : — Between this and the Laurel mountain the road for many 
miles is through chestnut Timber, such I never before saw for 
size and height — In many places as many rails could be cut 
on an acre as could be got out of the best Cedar Swamp in Jer- 
sey. The land is of little value but for timber. 

Wednesday 30 July — Set out halted and breakfasted at Mr. 
Robesons, went on through a settlement on good level land for 
this country, stopped and dined within four miles of Budds 
Ferry, here found a Mr. Brunt with a large family from Hunten- 
don in Jersey bound for Kentucky, went two miles further and 




JOH.V M. SHRKVE. 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 609 

found Moses Juttle waiting for Judge Symmes, went on again 
and forded Youghagaina River, the water being so high as to 
conie into some of the waggons that happened to drive a little 
amiss — Halted and stayed all night at Budd's Ferry— 14 miles 
to day— We are now in the forks— Here I received Colonel 
Bayard's letter of instructions where to find the house prepared 
for me. 

Thursday, 31st July.— Set out, and halted at Capt. Petersons, 
where Cawet formerly lived; went on, and took the Elizabeth- 
town Road for several miles, when all the waggons left me and 
turned off to the right hand near the meeting house to Asher 
Williams. I went on with my family, and turned to the left of 
Mr. Walter Walls. A hard rain coming on, and the road diffi- 
cult to find, 1 stayed the afternoon and all night. Mr. Wall is 
a Jerseyman, and very kind. 

Friday, ist August. — Set out. Mr. Wall sent his son James 
as a guide with me ; after going a mile or two, met Mr. Joseph 
Lemmon, the owner of the house I was going to, with Mr. 
Taylor. Walter Carr also accompanied us, with several others, 
to our new habitation, where we arived about one o'clock in the 
afternoon — All well, after a very fatiguing journey of 25 days 
since leaving Jersey. The house provided for me is a new one, 
30 feet by 26, two stories high, built of hewed white oak Logs, 
with a very good stone chimney. The house is not finished, no 
family having lived in it until we came. We set to, stopped it 
with lime and clay, laid the upper floor with Chirety boards, and 
it is now pretty comfortable for Summer. — There is a Spring of 
good water within about five rods of the door. 

I have the privilege of pasture and fourteen acres of good land 
to sow this fall with wheat, and plenty of apples for house use, 
&c. &c. 

I have ridden over some of the neighborhood, and must say 
that the land in general is exceedingly good, producing excel- 
lent crops of grain — Many parts are too rich for wheat, though 
the crops in general are good. Indian corn in some places is 
excellent, in other fields it has been hurt by the wet season — 
All that truth can say against the place is that the land in general 
is hilly, though even the sides of the hills are very rich, produc- 
ing Walnut, Sugar Trees, Ash, with a variety of other woods. 
&c. — As to the inhabitants, they are mostly from Jersey, very 
kind to new comers, as well as to one another ; they live in a pkun 
way, not spending much in Dress and foppery, but are well pro- 
vided with the real necessaries of Hfe.

610 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

Forks of Yough, Deer. 26th, 1789 
Dear Brother: 

Having an opportunity to Philada., I embrace it, and mention 
my situation or intended one. Since I have been here have 
wished to get Washington's Bottoms, and have at last obtained 
the whole tract on rent for five years. I wrote to the General 
by his Agent in this County, Colonel Canon, who a few weeks 
ago returned from New York ; the General was pleased to order 
Colonel Canon to let me have the whole of the Bottoms so called 
at my own offer. — The old farm contains about 80 acres of im- 
proved upland and about 40 of the best kind of meadow, a bear- 
ing orchard of 120 apple & 100 peach trees; the buildings as. 
good as most in this country — pretty well situated, and five oth- 
er improved farms that at this time rent for £43 — 10 — I am 
accountable for the whole rent, which altogether is £60 — so 
that I shall have the old place for £ 16 — 10, to be paid either 
in money or wheat at 3s. per Bushel. 

I considered that land at the Miami Settlement was rising 
fast, and that I had better pay this low rent for a well improved 
farm than barter away my land at a low rate for land here — 
Land does not rise much in this place, owing to the great emi- 
gration down the River. It seems as if people were crazy to 
get afloat on the Ohio. Many leave very good livings here, 
set out for they know not where, but too often find their mistake. 

I believe this as good as any of the settlements down the River 
for the present. The Mississippi trade is open at this time, 
and all the Wheat, Whiskey, Bacon, &c., buying up by those 
concerned in it; the highest price for Wheat is 4s in trade, or 
3s. 9. cash, whiskey, 3s. cash, and Bacon, 9d. p. lb. cash, &c — 

On the farm where I am going is as good a stream for a Grist 
Mill as any in the whole forks, and a Mill that can be set going 
for, I believe, £50, and a number of years given for the repairs. 
I am in hopes of being able to set it going as it will produce 
more grain than all the six farms on the tract. 

I am to have possession the first of April next — and flatter 
myself I have as good a chance as any person in my circum- 
stances could expect — I shall have nothing to attend to but my 
own private concerns — and think this way of life far preferable 
to any other. — Richard Shreve is to have one of the small farms ; 
they contain of improved land as follows ; one 40 acres upland 
and 5 good meadow; one, 35 acres upland and 7 good meadow; 
one, about 35 acres upland and 6 good meadow; the other two 
about 25 acres upland and 5 or 6 of good meadow each ; the 
whole in fences, they being the year before last rented for re- 
pairs only, &c. Peggy Shreve has a daughter ; she and her 
husband have been very sickly this last fall but have recovered. 
I am grandfather to another son ; — John and his wife pretty well, 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 611 

as is our family at present, but expect the measles, as it is in 
the school where our boys go. I hope you are all well also — 
I am, with great respect and love.

PERSONAL NARRATIVE OF THE SERVICES OF LIEUT. JOHN 

SHREVE OF THE NEW JERSEY LINE OF 

THE CONTINENTAL ARMY. 

Soon after the battle on Bunker's (or Breed's) Hill, near 
Boston, in the province of Massachusetts, Congress, composed 
of delegates chosen in the 13 United Colonies, ordered four 
regiments to be raised in New Jersey. William i^Iaxwell was 
appointed Colonel of the Second regiment, and my father, Is- 
rael Shreve, was appointed Lieut. Colonel of the same regiment ; 
Maxwell took charge of four companies, rendezvous in Tren- 
ton, and the other four companies were under the command of 
my father at Burlington. Their commissions (I believe) were 
dated in November of that year ; the companies were all com- 
pleted in December, but clothing, arms and other equipments 
could not be procured for all the men until the month of Feb- 
ruary. Maxwell's men were supplied first, and marched for 
Canada with the other three regiments, the first commanded by 
Colonel Ogden, the third by Colonel Dayton and the fourth 
by Colonel Marten. They passed over Lakes George and 
Champlain and down the River Saint Lawrence on the ice to 
the plains of Abraham at Quebec. My father followed the last 
of February with his four companies, and took me with him. 
We passed through Trenton, past Sussex Court House i" ;\^;w 
Jersev and Kingston (alias Esopus) to Albany in Ne^y York. 
where we stayed several weeks waiting for the ice to disappear 
in the lakes; here we were joined by Colonel Buels regiment 
from Connecticut and several companies from Pennsvlvania. \\ e 
proceeded up the Hudson river to old Fort Edward, then over 
to Fort George, at the head of Lake George, where we remained 
some time for the ice to pass out of Lake Champlain and the 
river Saint Lawrence, collecting batteaux and loaduig t urn 
with cannon balls, bombshells and other mihtary stores. When 
the ice was gone out of Lake Champlain we with 25 or 30 "^on 
in each boat, cut through the ice a considerable distance in Lake 



612 THE GENBAi,OGY AND HISTORY 

George, passed Ticonderoga, Crownpoint and through Lake 
Champlain ; then passed Fort St. Johns down the rapids to Fort 
Chamblee, from thence down the beautiful River Sorel to the 
River St. Lawrence, thence down the latter river between several 
islands, then through Lake St. Peter, said to be thirty miles wide 
each way, the St. Lawrence river passing through it. A heavy 
gale of wind came on us as we were about the middle of the 
lake; we all reached the shore in safety in the dark night, but 
several of the batteaux filled with water. Next morning we 
got into the river below, and passed down in a heavy shower of 
snow by the town of Three Rivers, Point Shambo, and landed 
at Wolfe's Cove in sight of Quebec City ; they fired cannon shot 
at us, which fell short of us, but we heard the shot or balls whis- 
tle, which were the first English bullets that I ever heard scream- 
ing in the air, but not the last. We marched up General Wolfe's 
road to the plains of Abraham ,and joined our other troops, I 
believe on the 2nd or 3rd day of May, 1776. A fire ship had 
been prepared, to set the enemy's shipping in the harbor on 
fire, and was in waiting for our arrival to storm the city. After 
preparing ladders, an attempt was made to set the enemy's ship- 
ping on fire, and our army marched with the ladders to scale the 
walls ; but the ship had been fired too soon, and blew up before 
she reached the enemy, and our troops threw down their lad- 
ders and returned to the encampment. The next day the 
British fleet arrived in sight of the city with a reinforcement of 
nine or ten thousand troops ; our army then raised the siege 
and retired up the river on the sixth day of May, 1776. 

I, with Samuel Shute, son of Captain Shute, who was a little 
younger than I was, with our guns and knapsacks filled with 
some clothing and provisions, were sent ofif by ourselves with 
orders to remain at Point Shambo till the army arrived at that 
place. An English armed schooner came up the river ahead ,of 
our army with intent to capture our boats at Point Shambo, 
which were in a cove above the point. She frequently fired at 
Shute and me, but did no other damage than to kill a cow be- 
longing to a Frenchman. She passed on ahead of our army, 
and at low water got half way up the rapids. At this point, the 
wind dying away, she drifted down and came to anchor below the 
falls. Our army came on before a vessel could ascend the 
falls, got possession of the boats and ascended the river, passed 
over Lake St. Peter, and arrived at the mouth of the River Sor- 
el, where we met General Thompson from Pennsylvania with 
fresh troops ; they being full of fight, would go and meet the ene- 
my ; they took the boats, and met the enemy near the Three Riv- 
ers Landing, and left the boats without a guard. The enemy 
moved many vessels up the river, landed their troops and took 
possession of the boats, defeated General Thompson, killed 



OF TH^ SHRBVE FAMILY. 613 

many, and took him and half of his men prisoners. The sur- 
vivors had to pass through a swamp and round the north side 
of Lake St. Peter, and cross over the St. Lawrence to the mouth 
of the Sorel. 

When we arrived at the encampment near Quebec General 
Thomas of New England commanded, but died in a few days 
with the small pox (and many of the New England soldiers died 
also ; the British knowing the New Englanders were opposed 
to being inoculated sent out spies to spread the disease in the 
American camp which killed more Yankees than they did). Af- 
ter the defeat at the Three Rivers Sullivan had the command. 

My father was left at Sorel to collect provisions. When the 
army went down the river with General Thompson I stayed 
at Sorel. Captain Ephraim Anderson who was blown up in the 
fire ship and considerably burnt, was sent express to Congress 
after the defeat at the Three Rivers, and my father sent me and 
Samuel Shute, a son of Captain Shute, with Captain Anderson 
to go home and attend a school to fit us better for the next cam- 
paign, i Gen. Sullivan conducted our army up the River Sorel 
and over Lake Champlain, and made a stand at Mount Inde- 
pendence, opposite and in sight of Ticonderoga, where I was 
appointed Ensign, a few days after the Declaration of Indepen- 
dence, in the Second regiment. The four New Jersey regi- 
ments were raised for one year, and were discharged in Decem- 
ber, 1776. 

Capt. Anderson left me with Samuel Shute at Skenesborough 
contrary to promise, and took the most of my money. Samuel 
and I had to go on foot by ourselves to Albany ; from that place 
we went in a vessel to New York. The British fleet had arrived 
near Sandy Hook a short time before, and we could see their 
masts, which appeared like a forest of dead trees. We went on 
foot from New York through Elizabethtown, Brunswick. Prince- 
ton, Trenton and Bristol. I crossed over the Delaware to Bur- 
lington, and stayed a few days with my grandmother ; then went 
to Philadelphia, and went to school, and continued at school un- 
til the Jersey troops were discharged. _ 

I then was appointed first Ensign in the Second Regiment, 
my recruiting warrant was dated the 26th of December. 1776. 
Wm Maxwell was appointed Brigadier Genl, and my father 
commissioned Colonel of the Second Regiment. Throe new 
regiments were ordered to be raised; Col. Ogden command- 
ed the First, Col. Shreve the Second and Col. Dayton tlieThird^ 
The new regiments were organized and mustered the first of 

February, 1777. , ,^ _ .,^, ^. 

The enemv having been driven out of New Jersey, except at 
Brunswick and Amboy, Gen. Maxwell was appointed to com- 
mand the New Jersev Brigade, consisting of three re.giments. 



614 THE ge;ne;ai,ogy and history 

and ordered to watch them at Brunswick, and to be on the hnes 
between Elizabethtown, Newark and New York. The enemy- 
came out from Brunswick and had an engagement with our reg- 
iment at the Short Hills ; we lost Captain Ephraim Anderson, 
killed. 

I was appointed Lieutenant the ist of July. I was taken 
sick with a fever, and went to Col. John Olds, twelve miles east 
of the town of Reading, in Pensylvania, where my father's fam- 
ily were residing after the enemy had overrun New Jersey. I 
was very low with the fever for several weeks. When I was 
well enough to ride out. Col. Olds took me to several harvest 
fields, where a dozen or more women were reaping and securing 
the wheat, and not a man with them ; their fathers, husbands, 
brothers were at camp with General Washington, watching the 
movements of the enemy. 

The British had embarked in their fleet, and were maneuver- 
ing on the coast between Boston and the Chesapeake, with the 
intention of baffling Gen. Washington, and keeping the Ameri- 
can Army scattered from Boston to Philadelphia. They then 
sailed up the Chesapeake Bay, and landed their army at the 
head of Elk. I had by this time recovered my health and join- 
ed my regiment which was on the march. We passed through 
the cities of Philadelphia and Wilmington and halted and pre- 
pared to meet the enemy within two miles of the town of New- 
port, where the British army lay; this was on the loth of Sep- 
tember, 1777. The enemy moved in the evening, not to attack 
us where we were, but to get round our right flank. Washing- 
ton perceiving their intent, moved our army in the night, and 
we crossed the River Brandywine at daylight the next morning, 
the most of our army fording at Chads'-ford ; but Gen. Stirling's 
division composed of Gen. Maxwell's brigade of New Jersey 
troops, and Gen. Conway's brigade of Pennsylvania troops, 
crossed at Brinton's ford, about two miles above, when we, in 
sight of the ford, laid on the leaves in the woods in a line on our 
arms to rest and wait for orders. 

About ten o'clock a messenger came with the information 
that the main British army was on the road leading to Jeffrey's 
ford, about three miles above Brinton's, and that part of their 
army had been ordered to proceed to Chads'-ford, and to make 
a feint of crossing at that place to keep our army there, while 
they made a landing above. Upon this Washington ordered 
Gen. Stirling's division to go up and hold the enemy at Jeffrey's 
ford as long as possible, while he recrossed the river and attack- 
ed that part of their army that was sent there. Two brigades 
had recrossed, and the rest of our army was on the move to join 
them, when another messenger came and said the British troops 
that were seen on their march for Jeffrey's ford were only a small 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 615 

party sent up to draw up and divide our army, so that the main 
British army could easily force their way over at Chads'-ford. 
Washington thinking the two Brigades that had recrossed would 
be in great danger, ordered them back, and directed Stirling's 
Division to halt for further orders. In less than one hour the 
third messenger came and said the main British army had ac- 
tually crossed above, and were on their march down the river on 
the East side. Gen. Stirling was ordered up to meet them ; on 
going half a mile we met them at Birmingham Meeting House, 
two miles below where they crossed. It was supposed by many 
of our officers that the second messenger was in the British 
interest, and gave that information to divide the American army 
and give the enemy the advantage, which proved to be the case. 
The enemy outnumbering us four to one, turned our right flank 
and broke off platoon after platoon. When we had to give way, 
the enemy in our front was so much cut up they did not follow 
us. We got off all our wounded, the enemy put theirs in the 
Meeting House, and remained there the next day to bury the 
dead. Two men, Jeremiah McMahan and Ezekicl Tobs. were 
severely wounded near me ; they both recovered. My father 
was also severely wounded in the thigh. I took him that night 
from the battle ground to near the town of Darby, where we 
stayed until morning, then through Philadelphia to one of my 
uncles in New Jersey. When we stopped to dress his wound, 
and unbuttoned his breeches at the knee, the bullet, which had 
been flattened on one side by striking the bone, rolled down on 
his boot. I believe one of my sisters has it now. On our 
retreat we met a Virginian division coming to assist us. but it 
was too late ; I believe they were not engaged with the enemy 
that day. This account of the battle at Brandywine does not 
agree with some statements written of that engagement, but 
what I have written respecting it I believe to be true. There 
was harder fighting at Chads'-ford, where Gen. La Fayette was 
wounded. The American army being scattered, the enemy 
had the advantage. 

After they obtained possession of Philadelnhia. I went with 
my father to Reading in Pennsylvania. I joined the regiment 
at White Marsh a short time after the battle at Germaiitown. 
Our brigade was ordered to cross the river at Scluiylkil. and 
break up a redoubt the Hessians were building near Gray's ferry, 
opposite Philadelphia. We were ordered to attack the fort on 
three sides at once. North, South and West; I had the middle 
forlorn hope on the West ; they, hearing we were comuig to at- 
tack them, left the fort and crossed over the Schuylkd River to 
Philadelphia. On our return we heard the explosion and saw 
fragments flving in the air of the British ship of war which blew 
up near Mud Island Fort. We then went into winter qunr- 



616 THE GENBAI.OGY AND HISTORY 

ters, and built log huts at Valley Forge, where the whole army 
suffered for want of provision and clothes. I was sent with a 
scout of 26 men on a very cold night; the ground had been 
very muddy, and having frozen suddenly, was very rough, there 
was not a pair of shoes in the detachment; blankets were cut up 
and put around the feet of some of the men, but soon were worn 
out, so that their feet come to the ground, and they could be 
tracked by the blood. We came to a farmhouse about 10 or 11 
o'clock about 15 minutes after an English scout had left the 
house ; the men of the house were away, the women said if we 
stayed the English, they were afraid, would return and kill us. I 
told her we came to meet them if they were out, and were not 
afraid of them. I let the men lay in the fresh straw in the 
barnyard near an hour to rest themselves. I told the woman 
I wanted her to give the men some bread and milk that the 
English had left. 

She with reluctance gave each of them some. She would not 
tell where the men belonging to the house were. I expect 
they were gone to the city with Drovisions to market. She ap- 
peared to me to be in the British interest, as no one called or 
known to be a Whig would stay and live so near the British 
army, as the Tories, vv^ho were worse than the English, would 
butcher them. We followed the road from this farmhouse to 
the river, then up the river road to our encampment at Valley 
i^'orge, where we arrived a little alter daylight. 

My father had now recovered sufificiently to join his regiment. 
After we received a partial supply of clothing, my father was 
ordered to take his regiment across the River Delaware and 
make a stand at Haddonfiield. about seven miles from Philadel- 
phia, to watch the enemy and prevent them getting any supplies 
from that side of the river. The English could not remain in 
that city much longer, unless they should get supplies from the 
country. Our patrols stopped a great quantity of provisions 
going to the British. 

General Washington and Congress were trying to increase 
the army that he could prevent the enemy from returning to 
New York, and they were becoming uneasy in their situation, as 
our army was getting fairly supplied with clothing. 

I have thought of an occurrence which happened on the nth 
of September, 1777, the day of the battle at the Brandy wine. 
In the morning of that day of the battle a division of the enemy 
came near Brinton's ford while we lay in the woods near the 
ford ; they discovered us and fired several bomb-shells at us, 
which burst in the tree tops near where we were. As we had 
been marching four or five days and all one night, some of our 
officers obtained a pig, with the intention of barbecueing it, that 
we might have one good meal, as we expected hard work be- 



OF THB SHREVE FAMII^Y. 617 

fore night. When the messenger came at about ten o'clock (as 
I mentioned before), informing us that the main body of the 
enemy was on the road to Jeffrey's ford, we expected to be or- 
dered soon to meet them; the roasting pig was examined, it 
was yet quite raw, we cut off sHces and roasted them before the 
fire. But Captain Stout of our regiment could not eat any; he 
was asked if the enemy's bombshells that burst over our heads 
had taken away his appetite. He replied: "No, gentlemen, you 
know me better than that, but since I came to this ground I 'am 
satisfied that I shall not eat another mouthful or see the light 
of another day, but you will see that I will do my duty as well 
as any of you." After we met the enemy and the engagement 
commenced, a cannon ball went through Captain Stout and 
through a Sergeant that stood behind him and killed both of 
them. This I know to be truth — I heard that a Captain Ash- 
ton of the British army told this story after that battle was over. 
When they were marching down on the east side of the river 
Brandywine from Jeffrey's ford and in view of the Birmingham 
Meeting House, Captain Piercy of the British army said that 
the scenery before him was as familiar to him as the scen- 
ery at his native place in Northumberland (in England) ; it had 
come before him at the twilight and in his slumbers over and 
over again and added, "I know I am to die here." The battle 
soon commenced, and Captain Piercy received a mortal wound ; 
he was taken to the Meeting House, and died before night in the 
presence of Capt. Ashton. The British buried the next day 
Colonel Gordon and Capt. Piercy of the English army and Capt. 
Stout of the American army in one grave. 

Finding the enemy in Philadelphia were preparing for a move, 
Gen. Washington sent Gen. Maxwell with the rest of his Brigade 
to join us. While he prepared our army to move after or to 
meet them. Maxwell came to Mount Holly, where my father 
joined him. Maxwell was informed that the enemy was fitting 
out an expedition to plunder the inhabitants between the mouth 
of Rancocas River and the city of Burlington before they left 
Philadelphia, and sent me with twenty-six men to pass down 
Rancocas to the Delaware, then up to Dunk's ferry, and try to 
stop them if they came. I patrolled all the night, but thov did 
not come, and I returned through Burlington to Mount Holly 
the next morning and joined the regiment. The encmv soon 
after crossed their whole army over the Delaware at Philadel- 
phia, and began their march toward New York. When thoy 
approached near Mount Holly I was sent off with the baggage 
of the Brigade (I believe in six wagons) to pass through Bor- 
dentown and Trenton, then on the road towards Princeton, there 
wait at the Red Barracks until the enemy had passed .\llcn- 
town towards Monmouth Court House, as it appeared they 



618 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

would take that road. Gen. Washington was on his march and 
crossing the River Delaware at Howell's and Creel's ferry above 
Trenton with his main army. When he with the army crossed 
the road leading from Trenton to Princeton towards Monmouth 
Court House, I followed him with the baggage that I had un- 
der my care, and stopped at Englishtown, a small village three 
miles north of the Court House. General Washington met the 
enemy near the Court House, where he had a general engage- 
ment with them. The British left the field of battle and retired 
to their former encampment ; Washington kept his ground, he 
had planned the action well, and if General Lee had obeyed and 
executed his orders, Washington would in all probability have 
destroyed and taken the most, if not all of the enemy at that 
place. This action occurred on the 27th of June, 1778. Af- 
ter the battle the British left their dead and the most of their 
wounded on the battle ground, and took their flight in the night. 
Gen. Washington lay \vrapped in his cloak under a tree with 
his troops on the battle ground all night, waiting for Hght to re- 
new the engagement, but the enemy had fled. The day of the 
action was so exceedingly hot that many soldiers of both arm- 
ies fell dead from the great heat and the want of water. Lee, 
was for disobedience of orders, deprived of his command and 
sent home. The day after the battle I joined the Brigade with 
the baggage. After I reached the battle ground I halted at a 
Presbyterian Meeting House and barn, both filled with wounded 
men of the American and English ; the surgeons of both armies 
(the enemy had left several), after having been twenty-four hours 
dressing the wounded, had not got through. After the dead 
were buried we remained a few days to refresh the men. The 
enemy had got so near to Sandy Hook they were protected by 
their shipping, and as our men were much fatigued it was not 
proper to follow them with the whole army. 
^ The enemy in a few days reached New York. Our army then 
went to the west and north of New York, the New Jersey Bri- 
gade, commanded by Gen. Wm. Maxwell, took our former sta- 
tion between Amboy, through Woodbridge, Elizabethtown and 
Newark, where we remained through the summer, the follow- 
ing winter and the forepart of the summer of 1779. We had 
many skirmishes with the enemy during this time ; they at one 
time came in force and burnt the barracks at Elizabethtown, and 
in June their Gen. Knyphausen, with about eight thousand 
troops, passed about seven miles into the country, and burnt a 
little village called Connecticut-farms ; after plundering the in- 
habitants and killing the wife of Parson Colwell and burning 
his house near Springfield, they returned to Efizabethtown. los- 
ing many men, killed and wounded, and sergeant, corporal and 
twelve men taken prisoners. I had the Camp Guard with 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 619 

twelve tories confined, and Gen. Maxwell sent me to Chatham, 
a village three miles west of Springfield, with the tories and the 
English prisoners, where I remained about a week, and then 
took them to Morristown, put them in jail, and joined the regi- 
ment on the lines near where General Knyphausen lay at Eliz- 
abethtown. 

After the British Gen. Clinton arrived at New York from 
Charlestown in South Carolina with troops, Gen. Knyphausen, 
being reinforced, came out with nine or ten thousand men to 
destroy our stores at Morristown. Maxwell had but about 
fifteen hundred men, but the militia and Gen. Green with troops 
came to our assistance. My father's regiment, with Col. An- 
gel's regiment of Rhode Island troops, contended with the 
enemy at the bridge east of the town of Springfield ; after their 
pioneers had relaid the bridge and crossed over, we were 
forced to retire to the bridge west a quarter of a mile, of the 
town and in fair view of it, where we met Gen .Greene and sev- 
eral thousand militia. The enemy burnt all the town, but two 
or three houses belonging to Tories, and retreated rapidly to 
Elizabethtown and crossed over to Staten Island. We followed 
them, but no engagement was brought on. The inhabitants re- 
siding on the road said they had thirty wagons on their retreat, 
all filled with their dead and wounded. I know they left some 
of their dead in Springfield. I lost one man killed within two 
steps of me in my platoon, and received a slight wound in one 
of my legs ; this engagement took place on the 27th of June, 
1779. We continued in that neighborhood until the latter end 
of August, when we were ordered to march to the Susquehanna 
and join Gen. Sullivan, who had been ordered to chastise the In- 
dians and tories who massacred the inhabitants on the Susque- 
hanna the year before. We arrived at Wvoming (now Wilkes- 
barre) in September, then proceeded up the river to the mouth 
of the Chemung branch, where the town of Athens no\v is. At 
Wyoming we were joined by troops that came up the river that 
from Northumberland, and by troops came down the river from 
the state of New York. While wc waited here for the latter 
troop our Brigade marched up the river Chemung twelve miles 
in the night of an Indian town by that name ; we arriveil at day- 
light. The Indians laid in ambush, and killed one of our men 
by my side (he touched me when he fell) and wounded several, 
one of them died. We knew of but one Indian killed ; we burnt 
their town (ten or twelve houses), cut down several acres of good 
corn, and returned down the river, carrying corn, pumpkins, 
garden truck and the dead and wounded men in several boats 
that we had taken up the river, and arrived at our encampment 
in the afternoon. After remaining here a few days, my fatlier 
was ordered with a detachment to build a stockade fort at a 



620 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

place about two or three miles up the two rivers, Susquehanna 
and Chemung, where they pass each other within about one 
hundred yards. I was left with this detachment. The fort was 
called Fort Sullivan; it was nearly four square, about 90 yards 
one way and a little under the other way, and was built by dig- 
ging a trench 2>^ feet deep, and placing upright logs in the 
trench about twelve feet high, leaving two or three gateways. Af- 
ter leaving the heavy baggage and the woman that belonged 
to the camp, Gen. Sullivan marched up the Chemung River to 
the Indian settlement in the northwest part of New York State, 
called Genessee Country, inhabited by several tribes of Indians 
and tory white men, who were under the influence of the Eng- 
lish, and hired by the British Government to burn the property 
and kill the American men, women and children, by offering a 
reward for all the scalps they could take ; our army killed some 
of them and lost several men in several skirmishes, burnt their 
town and destroyed their corn and other property, but could not 
bring the Indians and tories to a general engagement; the Brit- 
ish had troops with the Indians. After destroying all that could 
be found, our army returned to Fort Sullivan ; we left the Fort 
and passd down the River to Wyoming the last of October. We 
kept the boats in order until their return. I had four boats 
under my care going up and steered one of them. Our Brigade 
then crossed the great swamps at the head of the Lehigh River, 
a branch of the Delaware, marched through Easton, and passed ) 
the winter near Morristown in New Jersey. 

I got leave of absence, and went to school about two months 
and boarded at my uncle's, Thomas Curtis, in Burlington Coun- 
ty. I joined the regiment before the opening of the campaign 
in the spring of 1780. We then took our former station on the 
lines, and had frequent skirmishes with the British on Staten 
Island at Strawberry Hill, Ash Swamp, Woodbridge, Elizabeth- 
town, Newark, Passaic and in Bergen, and passed the summer of , 
1780 in that way. When the enemy sent a twenty gun ship / 
up the River Hudson, conveying their Adjutant General John 
Andre (the spy), she came to anchor at the head of Tappan 
Bay, about seven miles below West Point ; Andre landed, had an 
interview with Major General Benedict Arnold, who conducted' 
him to West Point Forts, and gave him a plan of the forts and 
public works. When the ship took her station so near the high- 
lands and so near the Fort, the New Jersey Brigade was ordered 
up the river to the little village of Orangetown near the river; 
here we met Gen. Greene with several Brigades of New Eng- 
land troops. I was ordered with a sergeant, corporal and twen- 
1 ty-four privates to take a stand on the west bank of the bay, 
nearly opposite where the ship lay, and watch her motions, and 
prevent her having intercoure with the shore on that side of the 



OF THE SHREVE FAMII,Y. 621 

river. I was then about three miles above Orangetown, and 
was to remain there one week unless sooner recalled ; after be- 
ing there a few days, I saw a barge, with four oarsmen and two 
men sitting in the stern sheets, rowed to the ship; she imme- 
diately weighed anchor, made sail and passed down the river, 
with a full band of music playing; before she got out of sight . 
another boat came out of the narrows from West Point, rowed 1 
by four men, and with two sitting in the stern ; she passed on by \ 
me and landed at the mouth of a small stream called the Slote, 5 
which comes down from Orangetown. She was the guard boat ' 
from West Point, commanded by Lieutenant Joseph Edes, with 
information to General Greene that Major John Andre, the Ad- ( 
jutant General of the British Army, a spy, had been taken on a ! 
horse within a short distance of the British lines, with a plan of j 
the forts and works in the handwriting of the traitor Gen. Ben- . | 
edict Arnold; Major Andre gave his name as John Anderson, / 
and had a pass from Arnold with that name. He was taken by ' 
three militia men, and conveyed to an American officer at an . 
outpost, who suffered him to write a letter to Arnold under the ; 
name of John Anderson, informing him that he was taken pris- • 
oner; and it was the traitor Gen. Benedict Arnold that I saw j 
making his escape to the British ship. I was then recalled, 
and joined the regiment ; General Washington returned at that 
time from Rhode Island, where he had an interview with the i 
French Admiral De Grasse. Gen. Washington then sent the | 
spy, Major John Andre, to Orangetown to Gen. Greene, and 
called on the Governor of the State of New York for the militia 
to keep possession of West Point, not knowing the extent of 
the conspiracy among the troops that Gen. Arnold had under 
his command. Washington sent them to Gen. Greene, and fol- 
lowed himself as soon as he had made preparations to repair 
the breaches that Arnold had made in several of the fortifications 
while the spy John Andre was there ; his excuse for this being 
that he wanted to make alterations for their better security. Af- 
ter Gen. Washington arrived at Orangetown where the greatest 
part of our army was collected to resist an expected attack of the 
British upon West Point, he ordered a Court IMartial of general 
officers to try Major Andre ; they pronounced him a spy. and 
sentenced him to be hanged. General Washington approved 
the sentence, and appointed a day for its execution. The pris- 
oner was guarded by a Captain two subalterns and sixty privates. 
I was not on duty the day of execution, and when the guard 
moved from the place of confinement with the prisoner, I joined 
them ; we passed to the north to a cross street, then wheeled to 
the west, which brought us in view of the gallows and of a gr^^at 
number of citizens and soldiers collected to see the execution. 
Andre did not appear to be in the least confused, and was in a 



622 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

familiar conversation with the Captain and one of the other offi- 
cers of the guard — one walking on each side of him between 
the two platoons formed of the guard. On looking forward 
and seeing the gallows, Andre broke off from conversation and 
said, "I am fully reconciled to my fate, but am disappointed in 
the mode ;" he had petitioned Washington to be allowed to die 
like a soldier, he could not bear the idea of dying on a gibbet ; 
he then recommenced conversation. When we arrived at the 
place of execution my father had the command of the detach- 
ment that formed a square around the gallows to keep off the 
crowd, and opened to the right and left to let us through ; there 
was a wagon standing under the gallows with a cofhn in it, and 
Andre stepped up into it. Gen. Parsons of our Army was officer 
of the day ; he rode near and read the sentence of the Court Mar- 
tial against him, and looking at his watch said, "Major Andre, 
you have fifteen minutes to live, if you anything to say, you can 
say it." Andre replied, "I have nothing to say, but this is for 
you to bear witness that I meet my fate like a brave man." He 
then took two white handkerchiefs out of his pocket pulled off 
his scarlet coat and handed it to his servant, telling him to put 
it in his trunk. The man obeyed, going to the house where the 
trunk was, the tears running down his cheeks as he went. The 
wagon moved to let Andre swing clear ; I have seen several men 
hung, but he flounced about more than any one I ever saw. 
When dead he was taken down, put in the coffin and driven 
under an escort to the landing place at the river, where a boat 
belonging to the enemy was waiting by permission, and took 
the corpse of Major Andre to New York City, and arrived with 
it at the British camp before midnight. His body was not bur- 
ied under or near the gallows, as some historians have asserted. 
Within a few days after the execution of the spy the New Jer- 
sey Brigade, under General Wm. Maxwell, marched to West 
Point and relieved the New York Militia; they had repaired the 
breaches that the traitor Arnold had caused to be made in the 
fortifications. ^ My father was ordered with the Second New 
Je.'sey Regiment to go down near the lines of the enemy on the 
east side of the River to protect a brigade of wagons that went 
down to bring up a quantity of forage that it was supposed the 
inhabitants were preparing to take to the enemy in the city of 
New York. I had the Piquet Guard the night we laid nearest 
the enemy; the wagons were loaded and moved on their return; 
we followed and came up to them before night, halted, put out 
a guard and laid down in a line on the long grass in a meadow 
that had not been cut. We had been marching three days and 
having no sleep the night before, as I had the advance guard, 
I slept all night. When waked to march after the wagons that 
had been driven all night, I found myself covered with snow, 
and did not know that it had been falling.

The next evening we reached West Point. The British came 
out after us, but I suppose the snow storm stopped them as 
they did not come up with us. After remaining at West Point 
a few days, we were relieved by the other troops, and returned 
to our former station at and above Newark and Ehzabethtown 
General Washington, preparing to drive the Enemy from the 
city of New York, had collected about sixteen thousand troops 
for that purpose within twenty-five miles of the city, but our 
purchasing commissaries failing to bring on provisions, we were 
for several days without anything to eat but damaged salt pork, 
and but half allowance of that ; for two days without even that'. 
Washington knowing soldiers could not be kept idle in camp 
without anything to eat, marched the armv down the river 
towards the enemy's lines, where there were no inhabitants but 
those in the British interest, for if any of the inhabitants must 
be plundered, those should suffer who had for years been supply- 
ing New York with all the provisions they could procure. Af- 
ter we halted in the evening, one man in the company that I 
commanded asked liberty of me to go and see a friend who lived 
in the neighborhood ; saying he had not seen him for some time, 
and that he would return before nine o'clock. I promised to 
excuse him at roll-call. He returned about eight o'clock, and 
gave my cook several pounds of excellent beef without saying 
how he got it. After provisions arrived at our former camp, 
our army returned to our former place of encampment, and the 
man who gave me the beef told me that he and another soldier 
saw two men killing a steer, they supposed, to take to the ene- 
my; he told the men they were butchers also and would help 
them to skin the steer; they each took a slice and returned to 
camp. I suppose that was the friend he wanted to see. While 
our army had to wait for provisions, the enemy by calling in 
their outposts strengthened their position in New York, and this 
I suppose was the reason our army did not attack them. 

After manoeuvering and fighting several years, the two ar- 
mies, our own and the enemy, went into winter quarters nearly 
on the same ground they occupied two years before. Our Bri- 
gade went into winter quarters by building huts at 
Mendham, near Raritan River, between Brunswick and 
Springfield. In the latter part of winter the Pennsylvania troops 
revolted. When they rose, the commissioned officers opposing 
them, the rioters killed a lieutenant, and left their encampment 
and took up their quarters in Princetown. Tlie enemy thoutrht 
to persuade them to join the British army by offering to com- 
mission officers of their own appointment, and sent spies to ne- 
gotiate with them ; and to the honor of the revolter^; they said, 
their attachment to the cause of liberty was as strong as ever, 
and sent the spies to General Washington for trial, saying- 



624 THE GKNKALOGY AND HISTORY 

if the enemy sent an army to persuade them to join the British, 
they would fight them to the list man under their own ofificers. 
The Legislature of Pennsylvania sent commissioners to ascer- 
tain their grievances ; they said it was the want of pay and good 
clothing. The commissioners, with the commissioned officers 
of their regiment, satisfied them, and they returned to duty. 
Towards spring the New Jersey troops revolted also. The Leg- 
islature sent commissioners, who, top-ether with my father, pre- 
vailed with them to return to their quarters, and if to their duty, 
promising that they should not suffer, and that the State would 
see that they should be supplied with pay and clohing. The 
revolters did return to their quarters, but the most of them re- 
fused to be subordinate to their officers. General Washington 
was determined to make an example of some of them, and had 
the leaders of the three regiments tried for their conduct. Two 
sergeants were condemned and shot, one of the First and the 
other of the Third Regiment. My father got the leaders of his 
regiment (the Second) clear. 

Many of the men had enlisted to serve three years or during 
the war, but neither was designated. Some who had served 
three years claimed the privilege of leaving the service, and were 
discharged. The number of men being reduced. Congress or- 
dered the men of one of the three New Jersey regiments to be 
distributed between the other two. My father being very fleshy, 
weighing three hundred and twenty pounds, left the service on 
half pay, and he thought, on account of the situation of our 
family, I had better leave the army also, as he had no available 
property left, not even being able to obtain what was due him 
from the Government. I left the army as he did. We rented 
a farm, and worked to support ourselves and the family. The 
same summer the capture of the British General Cornwallis and 
his army put an end to the war. That was the only engagement 
the New Jersey troops were in after I left the regiment. 

The foregoing is not intended as a history of the Revolution, 
but merely as an account of the manner in which I passed the 
most of my time while I was in the army. I was in my minority 
the whole of the time, being but twenty-one years old at the 
close of that war. 

I have written the foregoing narrative or statement, more than 
seventy years after the close of that war, from memory in the 
ninety-second year of my age, and without spectacles. There- 
fore I must be excused, as I cannot well transcribe and correct 
it, in letting it go as it is. JOHN SHREVE.

EXTRACT FROM LETTER OF JOHN SHREVE. 

^ Near Salem, Ohio, Jan. i6th, 1854. 

I thought I would mention a few occurrences, that 
I now recollect, that were omitted from my narrative. 

Shortly after the battle of Lexington, When the British troops 
went from Boston to take possession of the military stores be- 
longing to the then province of Massachusetts, the militia in the 
county where my father resided began to organize ; they met at 
least once a week to learn military discipline, and elected my 
father Colonel of the battalion in the year 1774; and in the year 
1775, shorty after the battle of Bunker Hill he was commissioned 
Lieutenant-Colonel in the regular service. 

I will now mention what I understood from the conversation 
among the officers of our brigade concerning General Lee. 

I believe it was before the British army took possession of 
Philadelphia, General Lee, with but one of his aids-de-camp, 
went to spend the day and dine with an acquaintance near the 
British line ; while at dinner a troop of British light-horse sur- 
rounded the house and took Lee prisoner. Washington had 
many captains and lieutenants prisoners that he took at Tren- 
ton and Princeton, but the British commander refused to ex- 
change Lee unless Washington had one of the same rank. An 
American officer, who was acquainted in Rhode Island, knew 
where a British general quartered in that island, and procured a 
whale-boat and competent men, who were used to row in rough 
water, and with a suitable number of chosen men, put out in the 
bay, and passed with muffled oars through the British fleet that 
was anchored near the Island, landed on the Island, took the 
sentinel, prisoner, captured the General and pulled him out of 
bed, hurried him to the boat, and returned through the enemy's 
fleet in safety and landed with the prisoner on the Connecticut 
shore. Washington exchanged him for Lee shortly before 
the enemy left the city of Philadelphia. 

After they left the city Washington came up to them at Mon- 
mouth Court-House. When the British General called a coun- 
cil of war some of the German troops opposed the risking a 
general battle ; they were sent as a guard for their baggage to 
the forks of the roads, one leading to Middletown point and 
Sandy Hook, the other to Amboy — Washington called a coun- 
cil of war. General Lee opposed risking a general eiigagomcnt. 
saying, British troops could not be conquered. .Ml the others of 
the council, I believe, excepting one, whose name I have forgot- 
ten, were in favor of a general action. W^ashington then gave the 
officers the plan of attack. Lee, with his division of Virginians 
and one other division, the New Jersey brigade with tlicni, was 
ordered to attack the rear guard of the enemy on the west and 
press on them and bring the main army to their assistance, not 
to retire until they drove him by force, and thou he. Washington, 



626 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

with the main army, would march in between the British army 
and their baggage. As soon as the general action commenced 
General Morgan, with his riflemen and our militia, were ordered 
to attack the Hessians and drive the baggage towards the town 
of Cranberry. 

Lee disobeyed the orders, and suffered the English rear-guard, 
with not half the number of men that Lee had, to drive him. The 
British general then knew that Washington was not there, he 
went out north and met Washington late in the afternoon. Af- 
ter being engaged near half an hour the enemy retreated, and 
left their dead and wounded on the field. Washington sent his 
aid-de-camp three times to know why Lee did not press on the 
enemy. Lee said, "tell the General I am doing well enough." 
My father heard him say it. Washington called a court of in- 
quiry on proof that Lee disobeyed general orders; he was sus- 
pended from his command for one year. The ofBcers of our 
brigade knew he disobeyed orders, and some of them thought 
he was a traitor, but it could not be proven. 

About the time Major Andre, the British spy, was brought a 
prisoner to the American camp General Washington was to have 
returned from Rhode Island to West Point, and it was reported 
in camp among our officers that one or two tories, having men 
in disguise, lay in ambush to surprise Washington, and convey 
him to the British ship that Andre came up in, and traitor Gen- 
eral Arnold made his escape to, and she was detailed for that 
purpose. As soon as Andre would have arrived in New York 
the British ships were ready to ascend the river with troops and 
take possession of West Point fort. Andre being taken the 
plan was broken up. After Andre was sentenced to be hung, 
I was told that he sent two or three notes, requesting an inter- 
view with the General, who declined to see him. If Washing- 
ton had gone to see him, what would have been the conse- 
quences, as they were both Free-Masons? 

Twenty-two years after General Arnold had made his escape 
I chartered a vessel at New Orleans to take flour to the West 
Indies. On the passage I found the captain of the vessel to be 
the same Lieutenant Edes that commanded the guard boat that 
followed traitor Arnold from West Point fort and took the infor- 
mation of Andre being captured and Arnold's escape to General 
Greene at Orangetown. Captain Edes told me he could have tak- 
en General Arnold but he thought it best to let him go. Were 
they not both Free Masons? Arnold certainly had some one or 
more that aided in the conspiracy. 

After our brigade relieved the New York Militia at West 
Point, it was discovered that several of the cartridges prepared 
for the cannon in each fort had two or three inches of ashes in 
the lower end to prevent the fire from the tube igniting the 
powder.

CAPTAIN HENRY MILLER SHREVE. 

A Contribution by Judge Samuel Treat, of St. Louis, Mo. 

[From the " Democratic Review." February 1848,] 

The earliest navigators on western waters were the French 
traders, who pushed their way in bark canoes far up the Mis- 
souri river and its tributaries in the perilous fur trade The 
typical navigators of a later period were the Mike Finks and 
their compeers, who performed more regular trips in rude flat 
boats or arks between the scattered settlements along the Ohio 
and Mississippi Rivers. They were a strange race— hardy 
brave and reckless. Their boats were generally built of green 
oak planks, rudely fastened together, and sufficed for the de- 
scending voyage to New Orleans. There the crafts were aban- 
doned, and the crews returned on foot overland, through a wil- 
derness inhabited by hostile Indian tribes. It is evident that, 
under such a system, commerce could hardly be said to exist! 
A few piroques and keel-boats made ascending voyages from 
New Orleans with extreme difficulty. The cost of such trans- 
portation left no margin for profits nor inducements for trade. 
The only markets of value to the farmer grew out of the de- 
mand caused by new immigrants to his neighborhood; and his 
surplus products were small, for there were but few to purchase 
them. At that period, corn and oats were seldom sold in Ohio 
for more than ten or twelve cents per bushel ; or wheat for more 
than thirty or forty cents. Beef was readily bought for one 
dollar and fifty cents per hundred, and pork for two dollars. 
Each family produced whatever was necessary for its own con- 
sumption, and lived in almost Arcadian simplicity. Still, as 
if conscious of the coming value of their river trade, they in- 
sisted upon the free navigation of the Mississippi, as a natural 
right, with which they would not part at any price. Hence, when 
the rumor crossed the Alleghanies, that the right was about to 
be relinquished to Spain, the settlers talked boldly of resistance, 
and their threats and apprehensions could not be quited until 
Washington, contrary to his usual custom, addressed to them a 
frank statement of the then condition of negotiations. 

But, as population increased, additional energy was given to 
all departments of labor. Men began to struggle for more than 
daily subsistence — to toil for permanent wealth. Their ac- 
quisition depended principally on better and more profitable 
markets ; and hence their commerce at the beginning of (his cen- 
tury gradually assumed a more judicious and improved form. 
To the flat-boat, piroque, and keel-boat, propelled by "sotting 
poles" and oars — "eatem conto subigit" — barges with sails wore 
added; an improvement celebrated in that day with as much 
joy, as was subsequently the use of the steam-engine ; not that 



628 THS GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

the use of sails for the propulsion of boats had been unknown 
and unappreciated previously, but because it had been supposed 
that barges of thirty and fifty tons could not thus navigate the 
rapid waters of the Mississippi Valley. Almost simultaneously 
with the commencement of this new class of boats, — the con- 
necting link between the former rude system and the introduc- 
tion of steam, Henry M. Shreve began his career. Western 
commerce, just struggling into shape, was then attracting the 
enterprise of men of mtegrity, education and wealth. The news 
of the occlusion of the port of New-Orleans had served only to 
test the patriotism and daring of the western pioneers ; for hard- 
ly had they enrolled themselves as volunteers to force open their 
great highway to the gulf, when the more joyful intelligence 
came, that Louisiana had been purchased and the divided valley 
united under our Republican flag. Their right to navigate the 
Mississippi and trade along its banks — to sell and buy at New- 
Orleans without molestation, had thus been placed beyond dis- 
pute j and new scope was given to their enterprise and feeble 
trade. Western commerce had become a regular and legitimate 
pursuit. Its destinies had enlisted the zeal of those who could 
give it energy and value — and a class of merchant-navigators 
had appeared, who opened a profitable traffic among the distant 
settlements. Among those Capt. Shreve bore a high rank. 
In 1807, he built at Brownsville, on the Monongahela, a barge 
of thirty-five tons burthen, and manned it with a crew of ten 
men for a voyage to St. Louis. He reached the latter place in 
December of that year, forty days from Pittsburg. After pur- 
chasing a cargo of furs, he returned to Pittsburg and forwarded 
them to Philadelphia. The trade thvis commenced by him was 
continued three years with considerable profit, as each voyage 
was on his own account. This was the rude beginning of regu- 
lar commercial transactions between Philadelphia and St. Louis, 
through Pittsburg — transactions which now equal in value sev- 
eral million dollars annually. 

Early in 1810 he determined on opening a new business. Prior 
to that period the British had monopolized the traffic with the 
Indians along the Upper Mississippi, and exercised over them 
a controlling influence which was subsequently felt in all the 
horrors of Indian warfare from 1812 to 1815. There were only 
a few settlements at that time north of St. Louis, the principal 
ones being at Cap au Gres, Salt River, Fort Madison, and Du- 
buque. It was known that British traders were engaged in a 
profitable pursuit, buying of the Indians in exchange for rum, 
whiskey. &c., large quantities of lead as well as furs. Capt. 
Shreve left St. Louis for Fever, or Galena River, on the 2d of 
May, in a new barge of thirty-five tons burthen, manned by 
twelve men, and loaded with an assorted cargo. Notwithstand- 



OF THS SHREVE FAMILY. 629 

ing various detentions to hunt food, and from other causes he 
made the trip from St. Louis to the spot where Galena s now 
built, m fourteen days There he remained until the ist of July 
ollowing, busily employed in traffic with the natives. During 
rn^^^!^TA^ had bought sixty tons of lead; and was therefore 
compelled to build a fiat boat, and buy a Mackinaw boat, to aid 
in transporting his return cargo. His little flotilla reached St 
Louis in twelve days— the commencement of the American lead 
trade on the Upper Mississippi. He took his cargo to New- 
Orleans and shipped it thence to Philadelphia, realizing upwards 
of $ii,ooo from the enterprize. That trade in 1847 equalled 
in value about $3,000,000 annually, estimating only the shipments 
from l^ever River. Then there were only eight or ten small 
settlements between Louisville and the mouth of the Ohio and 
about the same number between the latter place and Vicksburg 
He never repeated the trip to Galena, as his success induced im- 
mediately on his reaching St. Louis, others to send six barges 
to that point, and thus overdo the business. On his return to 
Brownsville that year he built a barge of ninety-five tons burthen, 
and entered upon regular voyages between Pittsburg and New- 
Orleans, in which he continued for four years. 

The difficulties of western navigation at that period cannot be 
appreciated at this time. Each voyage consumed six months, 
and was attended with extreme toil great expense, and immi- 
nent peril. During a favorable wind "barges would float gently 
down the stream, with the aid of sails and oars, guided wi\h the 
utmost care and vigilance through the forests of snags among 
which lay their tortuous and threatening course. At other times, 
oars and "setting poles" were the sole resort. The force of the 
current bore them rapidly forward, but subjected them to the 
constant danger of striking a snag, sawyer or sunken root, and 
going down with their cargoes at a moment's warning, beneath 
the muddy waters of the Mississippi. In ascending, the cordelie 
was used at the most dangerous and difficult points ; the barges 
dragged up stream by main force. Many of those boats were of 
more than one hundred tons burthen, and required a crew of 
forty men for their management. Such was the improved mode 
of performing those early voyages of two thousand miles in 
length, wdiich was in general use from 1804 to 1814; and from 
such rude efiforts has sprung, by aid of steam, an interior com- 
merce, which in about thirty-four years has come to ilouble in 
value the whole foreign trade of the Republic. 

No where did the experiments of Fitch and I'ulton elicit great- 
er interest than in the Mississippi valley. The peof)le of that 
vast region needed only a better mode of transportation to ena- 
ble them to compete successfully with the Atlantic states, even in 
eastern and foreign markets. Nature had prepared the way for 



630 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

a thriving commerce, by providing navigable rivers of the aggre- 
gate length of about 15,000 miles; but their strong currents re- 
quired more than animal muscles for their successful naviga- 
tion. Fitch and Fulton were endeavoring to substitute natural 
agents for human strength; and their triumph was destinea to 
give new wealth, impetus and power to the Union. The boat- 
men, farmers and merchants of the west had vast interests at 
stake, and none could feel more anxious for a favorable issue to 
these experiments with steam. They had scaled the Alleghan- 
ies, beaten back the Indian tribes, and encountered the privations 
incident to frontier Hfe, in the firm expectation that the avenues 
to happiness would eventually be opened to them and their chil- 
dren. History taught that, at each period in human affairs, new 
discoveries and inventions, as well as men to lead the way, had 
grown out of the wants of the times. The law of progress was 
especially discernible in the career of our republic. From the 
severe schooling received by our colonial ancestors, intellectual- 
ly and physically, during their early disputes with the mother 
country on questions of perogative and principle, no less than 
in their contests with the Indians, and with their French and 
Spanish neighbors — the great lesson of self-reliance was so learn- 
ed, that national independence and free government were the 
natural results. At the close of the Revolution, the population 
of the country was confined almost wholly to the narrow strip of 
land east of the Alleghanies ; but when the advancing wave o'er- 
leaped the "mountain barrier" a few years, sufficient to teach 
those early adventurers that mountains must be practically 
leveled and fierce torrents stayed in their course ; that the iron- 
horse and self-moving leviathan must supercede the slow 
wagon and clumsy barge, before their fertile prairies and 
distant forests could teem with an industrious and thrifty 
population. If the genius of Fulton and his compeers had 
not opened the great avenues of the west, who can say 
how long its undeveloped resources might have slumber- 
ed unknown, or what now would have been its relative rank in 
the confederacy? The great problem to be solved was 
not, whether vessels could be propelled by steam on 
the tide waters of the Atlantic, but whether they could be 
forced into the very heart of our continent, and along 
its main arteries to the extremities of the system, over- 
coming all obstacles in their course. Navigation along the At- 
lantic coast, and in its bays and short rivers, was not difficult with 
sail vessels, and could be easily conducted during fair winds and 
tides. Not so with the rivers of the west. Hence, the experi- 
ments of Fulton on the Hudson, and of Fitch on the Delaware, 
required repetition on the Mississippi, before the steam problem, 
could be solved; and so thought Fulton himself. In the year 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 631 

i8i2, he built at Pittsburgh the steamer "Orleans," of 4CK) tons 
burthen, and descended in her to New-Orleans, where he arriv- 
ed about Christmas of that year. That downward trip, how- 
ever, convinced him that the "Orleans" could never return to 
Pittsburg, and she was consequently used from that time as a 
trading packet between New-Orleans and Natchez. That was 
the first steamer that ever floated on the western rivers ; and 
erreat as must have been the astonishment of the boatmen and 
settlers at the appearance of so strange a craft ; far greater was 
their regret at the failure of the experiment. The next year 
Samuel Smith built a small steamer at Pittsburg — the "Comet" 
— of thirty tons burthen, on the model of French's patent, obain- 
ed in 1809. It was constructed with a stern wheel and vibrating 
cvlinder making a voyage, in 1813, to Louisville and back. In 
1814 she descended to New-Orleans, was then condemned, and 
sold at Natchez, where her machinery was placed in a cotton gin. 
In 1814, Mr. Fuhon made another trial. The "Vesuvius" was 
built by him at Pittsburg— 445 tons burthen— and early in the 
year descended to New-Orleans, under command of Captain Og- 
den. In June following, an effort was made to perform the as- 
cending voyage, but proved a signal failure. That boat was 
then placed with its predecessor in the Natchez trade. Thus 
far, the experiments only served to demonstrate, that steamers, 
like flat-boats, might pass down stream well enough, but that 
they would have to be abandoned, as were the Kentucky arks, 
on reaching New-Orleans. 

Those expensive failures, however, did not dishearten all west- 
ern boatmen, although most of them looked upon the project of 
forcing vessels up the Mississippi, with fire and steam, as practi- 
cally absurd— an impossibilitv. It remained for one of their own 
number to crown that project with success— to devise improve- 
ments by which the steam engine could exert, not only the pro- 
pelling power necessarv, but regulate its own motions with the 
precison of clock-work. Before his genius was directed partic- 
ularlv to the subject, Capt. Shreve had taken one-fiftli of the stock 
in a 'new steamer, 45 tons burthen, built at Browiisvil 0. on 
French's patent. It was intended by the owners that he should 
command her, but as she was finished while he was absent with 
his barge at New-Orleans, Capt. Gregg made two voyages 
with her^o Louisville during the summer. She was then 
loaded with ordnance and military stores for (.encral Jack- 
son's army; and as Captain Shreve had in the meant nne re- 
turned to Pittsburgh, she was placed under his charge

632 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

General Pakenham's expedition. On the ist of Decem- 
ber, 1814, Capt. Shreve left Pittsburgh, in command of 
that small steamer. He felt a double anxiety in the success 
of his enterprise. Not only was it his first in a steam vessel, 
but it was connected with the glory of his country. Born of 
true Revolutionary stock, a devoted Republican and a zealous 
advocate of the war then waged against England, he had felt, 
in common with the people of the West, extreme indignation at 
the burning- of our national capital by the Vandals of modern 
times, and at the proposed gathering of traitors in Hartford to 
"give aid and comfort to the enemy." He knew that Sir Edward 
Pakenham's army was about to land on our Southwestern coast, 
and that New Orleans was the probable point of attack. He 
knew, also, that it was of vast moment that Gen. Jackson 
should receive his military supplies, without delay ; and in four- 
teen days they were safely landed in his camp. As anticipated, 
he found intense excitement prevailing in the city on his arrival, 
and after receiving the thanks of the commanding General, he 
was ordered to proceed as rapidly as possible up the Mississippi 
and tow down the long delayed keel-boats. He was absent six 
and one-half days, during which time his little steamer had run 
654 miles ; and then returned to New Orleans with the small 
arms and ammunition so much needed. From that time to the 
third of January following, he was engaged in transporting ma- 
terial from the city to the final battle-ground on the 8th of that 
month. On the 3d, he received notice that the Commander-in- 
Chief desired him to call at head-quarters. He immediately obey- 
ed the summons, and on reporting himself to General Jackson, 
was accosted as follows : "Capt. Shreve, — I understand that you 
are a man who will always do what you undertake. Can you 
pass the British batteries on the bank of the river, nine miles be- 
low, and with your steamer bear supplies to Fort St. Philips?" 
After a moment's reflection, which convinced him of the extreme 
danger of the enterprise, and suggested a mode of success, he 
answered ; "Yes, if you will give me my own time." "What time 
do you require," asked the General. "Twenty-four hours," was 
the reply. It was then agreed that the supplies should be put 
on board the steamer by 4 o'clock that afternoon, and the effort 
made to pass the British before the next morning. It will be 
remembered that two battles had been fought prior to the iner- 
view just mentioned. The British were encamped several miles 
below the city, and had erected heavy batteries so as to command 
the river entirely. It was of great moment that Fort St. Phil- 
lips should be relieved before the enemy advanced, in order that 
it might be made the kev to subsequent operations whatever the 
issue of the impending battle. 

That evening, the steamer was run down to the Scud just 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 633 

above the British batteries. The side most exposed had been 
completely covered with cotton bales, fastened securely to the 
vessel with iron hooks. By midnight, as is usual there, a dense 
fog covered the river, and screened all objects from view. Tak- 
ing advantage of that circumstance, Capt. Shrevc put his steam- 
er in motion, under "a slow head of steam," with muffled wheel ; 
the strictest silence having first been enjoined on the crew. As 
anticipated by him, he passed wholly unobserved by the sentries 
on the shore, at a signal from whom his vessel would have been 
shattered into fragments. Reaching the fort in safety, he dis- 
charged his freight, and on the next night repassed the batteries, 
undiscovered, until beyond effective reach of the enemy's long 
guns. Only a few spent balls struck the cotton bales by which 
his vessel was protected. This daring exploit excited the great- 
est admiration in Gen. Jackson's camp, and received his marked 
commendation. 

The day previous to the battle of the 8th of January, Capt. 
Shreve requested permission to join the ranks ; and he was ac- 
cordingly stationed at the sixth gun — a long twenty-four pound- 
er, in Col. Humphrey's battery. There he shared in all the per- 
ils and glories of that remarkable victory — ready to aid his coun- 
try in any manner possible, and at all necessary risks. It was 
during those eventful scenes that he became familiar with the 
tru-e character of Gen. Jackson ; and at that time an intimate 
friendship sprung up beween them, which nothing but death 
dissolved. Hence, as early as 1819, when the people of the 
West first began to talk of Mr. Monroe's succession in the Presi- 
dential chair, he expressed his decided preference for the hero 
of New-Orleans. He was one of the original seven who maac 
the first demonstration in Louisville in favor of Gen. Jackson's 
election to the Presidency; and the old hero never had a truer 
friend in his various contests with his political opponents. 

Aftei- the battle of New-Orleans, the steamer "Enterprizc" was 
sent to the gulf to exchange prisoners with the British fleet ; sub- 
sequently with troops up the Red River, and then made nine trips 
to Natchez. On the 6th of May, 1815, Capt. Shreve (lctcrmim<d 
to make an effort to ascend the Mississippi to Louisville. Al- 
though every previous attempt had signally failed, he w^s con- 
vinced that success was practicable. On the 31st of that month, 
the "Enterprize" reached Louisville— the first steam vessel that 
ever performed that voyage. Still the delays, difficulties, and 
expense of the undertaking, rendered it doubtful whether steam 
navigation on the western rivers would prove of any practical 

benefit. 

The experience acquired by him whilst in command of that 
steamer wrought out improvements of momentous value. He 
had examined closely the engines of Fulton and French, watch- 



634 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

eil their operations in every particular, studied out their defects^ 
and diligently applied his inventive powers to devise the proper 
remedies. Convinced that the various inventions he had ma- 
tured in his own mind would overcome the main obstacles to suc- 
cess, he abandoned the command of the "Enterprize" for the 
purpose of testing his plans, and commenced the construction 
of the "Washington," of 400 tons burthen. The hull was built 
at Wheeling, in accordance with his directions, whilst he super- 
intended, in person, the construction of his new engines at 
Brownsville. That steam-boat was the first "two-decker" on the 
western waters. In appearance it resembled a dismasted fri- 
gate ; the cabin being between decks. Previously, the boiler 
had always been placed in the hold of the vessel ; and under Ful- 
ton's patent upright and stationary cylinders used — under 
French's the vibrating cylinder. Despite the ridicule with 
which his suggestions were received, he ordered the cylin- 
der to be placed in a horizontal position, and the vibra- 
tion to be given to the pitman. Fulton and French 
used a single low-pressure engine ; Capt. S. built a 
double, high-pressure engine, (the first used on the west- 
ern rivers,) with cranks at right angles, and the boilers on the up- 
per deck. Mr. David Prentice had previously employed the 
cam wheel for working the valves to the cylinder ; and Capt. 
Shreve added his great invention of the "cam cut off," by which 
three-fifths of the fuel was saved. Most of these improvements 
originating with him, have long been in universal use, although 
their origin has not been generally known. The "Washington," 
when finished, was, in every essential part, unhke any other 
steam vessel then known. The machinery weighed only one- 
twentieth as much as the Fulton engine, and was worked with 
about one-half of the usual amount of fuel. The alterations and 
improvements by Capt. S., made the engine essentially a new 
machine ; and in the course of a few years, no other model was 
used west of the Alleghanies. If Fulton's inventions entitle him 
to the great fame awarded by the world, why should not equal 
merit be accorded to Capt. Shreve, whose improvements super- 
seded all others more than thirty years ago? 

On the 24th of September, 1816, the "Washington" passed 
over the falls of the Ohio, on her first trip to New-Orleans ; re- 
turning to Louisville in November following. The trial was 
eminently successful. At New-Orleans she was visited by the 
niost distinguished citizens of the place, all of whom expressed 
surprise and admiration at the ingenuity of her commander. Ed- 
ward Livingston, after a critical examination, remarked to Capt. 
S. : — "You deserve well of your country, young man ; but we (re- 
ferring to the Fulton and Livinsfston Monopoly) shall be com- 
pelled to beat you (in the courts) if we can." The ascending 



OF THE shreve; family. 635 

voyage to Louisville demonstrated satisfactorily the practicabili- 
ty of resisting by steam the currents of the Alississi))pi. In 
consequence of the ice in the Ohio river, and continued low wa- 
ter, the "Washington" remained at the Falls until Alarch 3d, 
181 7. On that day she started on the voyage, from which all 
western historians date the commencement of steam navigation 
in the Mississippi valley. She was heavily laden, both in de- 
scending and ascending, and crowded with passengers. From 
the time of starting to her return to the landing at Shipping- 
port, just below Louisville, including all detentions at Xcw-Ur- 
leans and elsewhere, only forty-one days were consumed ; the 
ascending voyage being made in twenty-five days. "This was 
the trip," said the early historian of Louisville, "which convinced 
the despairing public, that steamboat navigation would succeed 
on the western waters." To commemorate the event, and ex- 
press their gratitude for the triumphant solution of the great 
problem of the day, the citizens of Louisville gave him a public 
dinner, and hailed him as the first of benefactors to the Missis- 
sippi valley. In reply to a complimentary sentiment, he pre- 
dicted that the time was not distant when the ascending trip 
from New-Orleans to Louisville would be made in ten days — a 
prediction received with incredulity, even by those who had tlien 
met to celebrate an event, of Vv^hich they had previously despair- 
ed. That prediction was not a random statement, but a conclu- 
sion formed from accurate mathematical calculations. That 
prediction has been more than verified since. The trip has been 
made in less than five days. On his return to New-Orleans, his 
friends hastened on board, eagerly inquiring what accident had 
forced him to put back— none of them supopsing that he had 
been to Louisville since they last parted with him. Out of the 
profits of those two voyages, he paid all the expenses of running 
the steamer, the original cost of the construction; and divided 
among the stockholders a surplus of seventeen hundred dollars. 
In 1806, Dr. McMurtee says, there were only six keel-boats 
and two barges owned on the Ohio river. In connexion with 
the flat-boats and piroques in use, they then sufficed for the car- 
rying trade of that region. In 1819, so rapid was the increase 
after Capt. Shreve's success, twenty-five steamboats with the 
aggregate tonnage of 6,050 tons, were owned by the citizens 
of the Ohio vallev; twenty-six others, whose average tonnage 
amounted to 6,726 tons, were nearly completed and rca.lv to be 
launched. Judge Hall, of Cincinnati, says in a receiit address, 
that "prior to 1817, the whole commerce from .\ew-(.)rlcans to 
the upper country was carried in about twenty l)arge.s averaging 
one hundred tons each, and making but one trip in the year; so 
that the importations through New-Orleans in one year, could 
not much have exceeded the freight brought up by one of our 



636 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

largest steamers in the course of the season. On the upper 
Ohio there were about one hundred and fifty keel-boats, of about 
thirty tons each, which made the voyage from Pittsburg to 
Louisville and back in two months, or about three such trips in 
a year." In two years, the steamboat tonnage amounted, in 
consequence of Capt. Shreve's ingenuity and enterprize, to 12,- 
790 tons, and it has continued to increase with almost incredible 
rapidity to the present hour. 

We have alluded to several efforts on the part of Spain, France 
and England to command the navigation of the Mississippi river, 
and to the firmness with which the general government, and the 
western pioneers resisted all such efforts. In 1788, Congress 
resolved that they had no intention to give up to Spain the 
navigation of that river — "that the free navigation of the river 
Mississippi is a clear and essenial right of the United States." 
But a corporation nearly effected in 181 5 what had been so reso- 
lutely opposed for more than a half century. At an early day 
after his patent had been obtained, Fulton associated himself 
with Robert R. Livingston, of New York, with the view of mo- 
nopolizing the trade of the western states and territories. Fail- 
ing to procure a charter from several legislatures to which they 
applied, they finally obtained in 181 1, an act of incorporation 
from "Orleans Territory," granting to them the exclusive right 
"to navigate all vessels propelled by fire and steam on the rivers 
in said Territory." By an abuse of its powers the Territorial Leg- 
islature sought to place in the hands of a soulless monopoly, the 
keys to western commerce — an occlusion of the Mississippi, as 
fatal to trade as that attempted by the French government in 
1802. That corporation laid its relentless grasp on the Father 
of Waters, resolved not to relax its hold, but to extort tribute, 
from all coming time, from the people of half the continent. It 
dared not rely on Fulton's patent, for the invention of Fitch 
claimed precedence, and French's ingenuity had secured a patent 
equally valuable ; hence it sought, by corporate privileges, as 
wealth has ever done, to make trade subservient to the aggran- 
dizement of the few, instead of leaving it open to honorable com- 
petition. Among those who felt indignant at the outrage, Capt. 
Shreve stood foremost. He determined to resist such exactions, 
in every way known to the laws of the land. Anticipating that 
a protracted legal controversy would commence as soon as the 
steamer "Enterprise" arrived at New-Orleans, he had consulted 
v^hilst there with his barge, in the spring of 1814, A. L. Duncan, 
Esq.. one of the most prominent members of the bar, (subse- 
quently one of Gen. Jackson's Aids.) and gave him five hundred 
dollars as a retaining fee, together with a bond for fifteen hundred 
more, to be paid on the successful termination of the impending 
suit. The foresight was fortunate ; for, on learning that the "En- 



OF THE SHREVE FAMILY. 637 

terprise" was on her way down the river, the Company retained 
in its service the whole New-Orleans bar, and offered to Mr. 
Duncan three thousand dollars if he would remain silent. But 
that patriotic lawyer frankly replied that he was Capt. Shreve's 
counsel, and had advised him to oppose the pretensions or de- 
mands of the Corporation. On the first arrival of that steam- 
boat., however, New-Orleans was under martial law, and she was 
not seized until May 6th, 1815, the day fixed for her departure 
for Pittsburgh ; but his counsel anticipating the step, had the 
necessary bail ready. The "Enterprise" was accordingly re- 
leased and pursued her voyage. In a few months the trialtook 
place, in the inferior court, and the jury promptly returned a 
verdict in favor of "free navigation." The cause was removed 
by \\Tit of error to the Supreme Court of the Territory ; and the 
act of incorporation was there pronounced unconstitutional, in 
the year 1816. But that colossal monopoly resolved not to re- 
linquish its unjust privileges on the first defeat. Hence, when 
the "Washington" reached New-Orleans, in the fall 1816, she was 
also seized, and Captain Shreve arrested. By advice of his 
counsel, he refused to give bail, and the officer expostulated 
with bin; strongly, offering to receive his bond without sureties, 
rather than take him to prison. Whilst they were conversing, 
however, the rumor had spread along the levee, and an immense 
crowd collected, determined to oppose the arrest. At the re- 
quest of Capt. Shreve, no outbreak occurred, and he agreed to go 
to the ofifice of ]\Ir. Edward Livingston who, with John R. 
Grymes, was the principal counsel for the Company. The crowd 
followed ; but on reaching Mr. Livingston's office, Capt. S. was 
prudently released. The steamer, when seized, was instantly 
abandoned to the Marshal ; and Mr. Duncan applied to the Court 
for an order on the Company to give bail for damages, caused by 
her detention. Messrs. Livingston and Grymes resisted the 
motion, but it was granted. They then became seriously alarm- 
ed f jr iheir monopoly. Public sentiment cheered on their op- 
ponent, eminent jurists sustained his cause, and he could not be 
intimidated into a compromise. Messrs. Livingston and Grymes 
offered him in behalf of their clients, one half of all the advan- 
tages of their monopoly, if he would instruct his counsel to so 
shape the defence as to cause a verdict to be rendered against 
him. The temptation was powerful, but he had commenced the 
controversy for other objects than private gain. He felt the 
force of his position — that on him himg the right of free naviga- 
tion — that his companions on the waters of the West looked to 
him as their leader and representative in the struggle : — and he 
was equal to the occasion. He had dared to risk his fortune in 
a contest, single-handed, against the most powerful monopoly 
of the times, and the same spirit which prompted him to resist 



638 THE GENEALOGY AND HISTORY 

at first, impelled him to spurn the base bribe, although it prom- 
ised boundless wealth. The issue was a triumph which unsealed 
the arteries of the Mississippi Valley. 

Next to Fulton, the Western country owes a vast debt of 
gratitude to Capt. Henry M. Shreve. His spurning the offer of 
the Livingstone Company defeated the impending monopoly of 
the carrying trade on the western waters which induced the rap- 
id settling of emigrants into the Mississippi Valley. The expe- 
rience of four years demonstrated that neither Fulton's nor 
French's patent could ever be made of practical benefit to west- 
ern commerce. 

In i8i(S Capt. Shreve had matured in his own mind further 
improvements and consequently built the steamboat Ohio, add- 
ing the other inventions his genius suggested. This boat ran 
four years, and the United States, subsequently built, one year 
wher! he undertook further improvements on both the engine 
and the model of the boats. Previously boats were constructed 
like sea vessels, and drew too much draft for river navigation. In 
1824 he finished the George Washington, the first vessel built 
with the upper cabin or hurricane deck for carrying passengers. 
It was also constructed with side wheels, each run by separate 
engines, rendering the vessel more completely under the control 
of the pilot. While other improvements were made in steam- 
boats since then, yet they at the same time contain all the in- 
ventions made by Capt. Shreve 

Mr. Calhoun, when secretary of war, quickly saw the advisabil- 
ity of rendering western waters available for military purposes, 
when the time for transporting government supplies from Pitts- 
burgh to New Orleans could be lessened from three months to 
ten or twelve days. Through his influence, in 1824, Congress 
appropriated $75,000 to improve navigation, the river then being 
strewed with snags and sawyers. In 1826 Captain Shreve was 
commissioned Superintendent, and ordered to commence opera- 
tions at the Government's expense. In 1829 the first snag-boat 
was built, according to his plans, by the consent of the govern- 
ment, and named the Heliopolis. This vessel, in a scientific 
manner, quickly removed the largest obstructions, and all such 
vessels to this day embody the principles of his invention. It 
has saved to the government and to individuals untold millions 
of dcllars, and given an impetus to river commerce that no mind 
can estimate. 

While government engineers advised that the removal of the 
Red River raft be not attempted, the War Department consulted 
Captain Shreve on the subject. His reply being satisfactory, 
he was ordered to undertake the herculean task. An official 
report to Congress shows that this formidable obstruction ex- 
tended more than one hundred and sixty miles, but the task was 



OP THB shreve; famii^y. 639 

successfully accomplished and twelve hundred miles of navigable 
water was made available to the government. The entire*'cost 
was only $300,000, instead of two or three million. 

Captain Shreve invented a marine battering ram for harbor 
defense, an accurate description of which was filed in the Navy 
Department at the request of General Jackson. He was under 
the employment of the government until 1840, enjoying the 
greatest confidence. After his retirement he resided on his 
plantation near St. Louis, where he devoted his attention to nn- 
provements in agriculture with the same zeal and liberalty always 
manifested by him for western commerce. 

Thus after thirty-four years literally spent on the waters, he 
returned to the quiet pursuits in which his early youth was em- 
ployed, enjoying the pleasures of uninterrupted social happiness 
and commanding the esteem and affection of a wide circle of 
friends. 

This brief sketch of his eventful career indicates clearly his 
pure and intellectual character. He contributed more than 
usually falls to the lot of one man to the progress and blessings 
of his age, and to the rapid growth of new states in the then far 
off west, although the full value of his many inventions cannot 
be computed, he never applied except in one instance for letters 
patent to secure for himself the deserved fruits of his genius. 
For twenty years the Government used his private property 
without remuneration, during which period at nine different 
times and in various forms, his claims were recognized and en- 
couraging promises made. He refrained from enforcing his 
rights at the injury of that commerce with which his name was 
so intimately associated, preferring to wait for even tardy justice 
at the hands of the government he so long and faithfully served.
